Looks like by googling you can find several makers....as to quality and recommendations, look back through the older threads. Of, course, if you have enough time, just wait; as Ole says, someone will come along who knows.

Gosh, with the Commutation System, what the locals made for their troops when they first marched off, you would have a hard time pinning down who had what, and when!
Over shirts/Battle shirts would have been common, as the picture posted of a jacket that looks like one a Military Cadet would wear.
Also when the Confederate Quartermaster system came into being, what uniform they were issued would depend on the theater they were fighting in.

A civilian attire would get you into a lot of scenario's...

As far as accouterments, you have to look at what the Confederate Depot's were issuing. And, again it depends on the theater of war...ANV, AoT...Selma, Atlanta, Richmond, Columbus...
Here is a maker (or two) of some great stuff...http://missouribootandshoe.tripod.com/id68.html

I would seriously look at a .69 caliber Cartridge box. I don't know how common "russet" or natural leather accouterments over black dyed stuff would have been in the Confederate ranks.

The one thing with a Confederate impression, you can be variable in your choice of equipage!
As far as a "jacket", I would contact someone like http://www.wwandcompany.com/cs-items/86-commutation-jackets.html
or http://www.wwandcompany.com/cs-items.html adding who johan posted!

There is a similar jacket for sale by vendors called the First Virginia Cavalry Jacket.
