Very nice indeed! My Great Great Uncle, William White served with the 20th Va Cavalry under Jubal Early. He was wounded in the head during the rear guard action outside of DC. He was captured and taken to Capital Prison, then sent by rail to Elmyra Prison NY were he lingered for 2 months before dying of fever-he was 17 years old.

So whats the story on all these other 'Confederate' tartans?

Curious about their stories.

Those uniform jackets go really well with the kilt. Like the use of the waist wrap under the belt in the first photo.

Good question, Herr Koch!

WOW! I didn't know there were that many different Confederate tartans??? I wonder if Nicholas Fiddes would have an answer?

According to the STA's International Tartan Index (ITI), all of the tartans named for branches of service plus the Confederate Rose tartan were designed in the late 1990s. One tartan, the "Confederate" tartan, comes from the lining of an greatcoat cape worn by a soldier in the 23rd North Carolina.
