Those uniforms aren't particularly interesting.

I'm not very interested in men with dresses and garbage bins with coloured tampons on their heads.

...What?

I was refering to kilts, shakos and giant plumes.

Having a spiky helmet doesn't look that smart as well.

You do know that the central figure on this plate...

Is wearing a shako with a horsehair plume? And that the men on his flanks have giant plumes?

NL soldiers armed with the charleville? A senior officer walking? A canteen saying 'N.M. BN 7' instead of 'L.M. BN 6' ? How terrible inaccurate.

If you want to please me, you should bring some better material. Tsssss...

NW era uniform just isn't my piece of cake. Things start to look better once we hit 1830~ and forward until 1915 when everything was focused on being as practical as possible.

I respect your opinions and I hope you respect mine.

I'll be happy as long as these fine men march the streets of Stockholm

I was just pointing out that what you literally said you hated was in the picture you showed, within the same post.

Wismar, do you like anything other then Swedish uniforms (which is just for the fact they are Swedish)? I'm pretty sure the Swedish army could be dressing in pink tutus and popcorn buckets and you'll still love them.

There's nothing wrong with showing a uniform you like, but you have shown the same uniforms again and again. Swedish army, 1880ish. We know you like them, and we do not have to reminded every page with a shipload of pictures.
