"Farby" also means historically inaccurate. For example, using a Zouave rifle.
Although they are period, there is NO evidence they were ever issued to anybody. And yes, polyester or at least non-wool uniforms, "kepis" with shiny brims, post Civil War insignia, etc. At one RevWar I kidded one reenactor, he did a pretty good rifleman's impression but he had a percussion cap rifle.
