These two videos popped up on my recommended a few days ago. It shows a whole bunch of uniforms that units from both sides wore. It gives the unit name and date for each one.

I got to reenact with the guy who is portraying the 1st Texas in the second video. He was my 1st Sergeant at Port Hudson. I cant wait until they release their next video on the units!

In 1858 the US army and the danish army did an exchange of uniforms and gear.

The US received on complete set of infantry and cavalry gear. (no firearms)
And Denmark got the same from the US...


The danish items have been lost, but the US stuff is today part of the exhibition at the danish war museum.

The collection is unique since it is off the shelf items taken at the same point in time.
(the the items the Smithsonian hold are one of each item when they where officially approved)

I love seeing all the original uniforms, I was lucky enough to see an original 1858 Hardee hat from the Iron Brigade at a museum in Wisconsin.
