Believe it or not, this was generally the state of the army after the Revolution, though the game takes it to the extreme somewhat. Quite often, recruits would be issued the jacket, some basic equipment, and of course a musket. The rest of his clothing would be whatever he happened to own.

Don't worry, as the game progresses (next story campaign), the uniforms also change. So by the time you get to the French Grand Campaign, they will be wearing the fancy 1815 variants.
