Hi, folks!
Beside my finished Gunner impression (Brook's Light Artillery) I am working on my Infantry gear (2nd SC Rifles), especially for later impressions (> Autumn 1863) at the moment. So based on my research I decided to wear jeans cloth pants paired with a butternut sackcoat and a butternut forage cap/bummer.
But I am a little bit unsure about the authentic footwear for this impression. I decided to buy brown, undyed/natural Brogans for this impression because I think they will fit very well to it. But what I saw on most pictures and from confederate reenactors in the US most of them or all are wearing the common black brogans, even for later impressions.
So, did I make a mistake with my brown brogans?
(I oiled them a little bit up so they don't look as fresh and bright as new from the factory.)
(And yes, I know that my hobnails are pure luxury, especially for later impressions. But I don't want to miss them as an Infantry man. ^^ )
So, what are you saying, guys? Good and authentic for my impression or a mistake?
