Favourite Napoleonic Uniform?

A danish Grenadier (best hats ever  :mrgreen: )

It was Russia. I guess Potemkin invented it, because it is called the 'Potemkin' uniform.

Danish troops wore similar coats (and the Grenadiers similar headwear) in the 1800s, and those uniforms are described as being in the 'Potemkin-styke'.

And yes, it looks goofy.

That's just a copy of the Frederickian uniforms, but with silly hats (fot the soldiers). The original uniforms of Frederick's army looked better, IMO:
By the way, the Prussian '1806' uniforms were already worn by the troops in 1805.
 
I think tricornes look better when they're actually equilateral, instead of being creased out towards the sides like a proto-bicorne. Ah, but I'm always behind the trends.

Im aware they were. They were worn some years prior to 1806. However that style is called 1806 or pre 1806.
Also both pictures aren't napoleonic.
 
Any Grenadier with a mitre.
