First Reenactment Uniform- What to add?

Hi everyone,
I just picked up my first Civil War reenactment uniform at a flea market: a Confederate Artillery Sergeants set made by C&C sutlery.
(I’m planning to remove the Sergeant chevrons to start as a Private)
I’ve been researching Confederate artillery a bit and want to build a realistic ANV Light Artillery impression.

I’d love some feedback from experienced reenactors:

-What do you think about this uniform in terms of period, accuracy and quality?
-What should I add next? I already bought some brogans and a pure cotton undershirt
- Any specific artillery batteries with similar uniforms/worth looking into for inspiration?

Thanks in advance!
