![]() ![]() What each colonel chose to do would be much less a reflection on military standards than general hairstyles for men of the time, which back then meant relatively long hair. So, if a colonel wanted his men to wear their hair brushed back in a ponytail, they would, and if he thought curls were better, then they'd do that instead. While this did mean that soldiers of the same army would have uniforms that were reasonably similar, in broad strokes, there was also quite a bit of leeway given to the colonel of each regiment in determining the uniform style- including, among other things, hair. Now, uniforms were generally introduced around the time period you're talking about together with what was known as the regimental system. I think you're making a lot of assumptions here that are not entirely accurate. Previous AMAs | Previous Roundtables Featuresįeature posts are posted weekly.
