More often than not the "popular" or "elite" units will attract farbs. Naturally, there are exceptions.
I'm not proud of my ACW or WWI uniform. They're both farby, but I very much plan on fixing my impression over time. I'd say WWII is where I'm closest to being "kitted out" and getting out of the loaner pit.
That's typically the Catch 22 of reenacting, is the young, fit guys have shite impressions while the old, fat guys have everything they need and more. I've been doing everything I can to help people get into the hobby as accurately and cost-effective as they can. All it takes is one farb to ruin the immersion and enjoyment of an event.
Also, if you're going to spend hundreds and thousands on your impression, you'd think people would have appropriate haircuts and grooming.
Really, you're not out there to look good for yourself, but everyone else. 1st Manassass you damn well know I was wearing my shell jacket on Saturday. xD Better than being in the "Shirt Brigade".
Whew. Good to get that off of my chest.

As far as reenacting Rev War up in Canada, you may as well if there's a unit nearby. ACW well... I wasn't able to do any reenacting when I lived out in Reno, Nevada because the closest stuff was a very long drive deep into California or Utah or Arizona.
