That's just the thing... they ARE poor. It's like the American Revolution, the "British" have all the nice things (guns, outfits, red petty coats apparently fitting for war) and then we were poor, so we couldn't afford nice things like red petty-coated armour for our soldiers. It's all in relativity. True but why are all the other holds guards then "up to date" in their armor. but true they are rebels, but Windhelm is one of the richest cities in Skyrim( and the first :D) And i for one would be thankful for such a Mod :D OMG i just discovered that the fur armor also is better then the Stormcloak armor :(
