Some 1860s Swedes and Norwegians. I think they look very good.

Nah it's really the art. How everybody is painted makes this period very cool and good looking.

It would still be the same uniform, just a bit messed up. Might even make it look cooler.

As a rule, uniforms always look better when they're clean.

We talked about this before. Uniforms looked extremely alike during this period. Details sometimes were a bit different, but that's it. We must remember that this is the time where you couldn't recognize someones uniform from the distance you were going to shoot him from anyway, so it mattered little. And maybe even more important - There were barely multinational wars during this period, apart from the Crimea, so the most important thing for any army was to look pretty, and one looks pretty by following (military) fashion.

If anyone carries a pretty unique uniform nowadays, I bet it's this Dutch regiment.

Whether it's nice to look at, is something different entirely.

At least we have helmets and weapons. Instead of a catapult and berets.
