But yes... wool socks, trowsers, double-breasted frock coat, and even the kepi is a jeans/wool blend. This image is from Shiloh National Military Park last April, but we wore the same get-up at Gettysburg and Chickamauga this past summer...

TPBM wields a sword, too, and probably knows how to use it...
