Cost may also be an issue- the initial outlay for 'proper' gear for the ACW is substantially higher than for WW2 or Vietnam reenactors (which are both fortunate in having access to a lot of authentic gear), despite the protests that loaner gear is available for new members. I'm not familiar enough with the modern reenactment groups to know if 'farbism' is an issue, but I know when I was looking into ACW reenacting on this forum a few years back, any mention of the package deals available from Pakistan was met with stiff resistance (and hoots of derision LOL)...it may be that the price point for someone who's thinking about getting into it is just too high.
