Well, in the same way a Model-T Ford and a Delorean are both clearly cars and not trucks or busses... Uniforms of, say 1770 and 1810 looked very different. True, after the Napoleonic Wars, the victorious British kept their army looking much like that of Waterloo until Wellington died and the Crimean War forced a lot of changes, but even then the silouette changed in line with civilian fashions. -- Chris Bertani www.goblinrevolution.org/costumes _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
