It really depends, and the Polish one is not a shako, its a polish hat, my personal favorite headgear though has to be the half mitre/bearskin cap like the Austrian Grenadiers.

Wouldn't all these fancy uniforms rack up a huge cost? It seems a waste when they're going to get muddy and shot up anyway.

>It seems a waste when they're going to get muddy and shot up anyway.

The details and the colors were used to distinguish units, friend from foe, hussars from dragoons or grenadiers from chasseurs, in battle it got very smoky from the musket fire and the generals needed a good way to distinguish their troops so they could know their position, flags do this as well but spotting a flag is difficult and it may have fallen.
>>
>>3215072

Oh and, as for the expense, im sure non of those ornaments are made from anything expensive, cheap brass and leather probably, but im no expert, considering these were among the first truly national armies and the large scales of the battles im sure the equipment, barring the weapons was quite affordable. But again im not the best when it comes to this period, so take it with a grain of salt.

Can't find any decent information but it's doubtful it cost a lot. Only thing that immediately springs to mind is the french shifting some of their units back to white.
