ITT: your favorite uniforms/armors in history

pic related for me
while impractical as hell, French uniform in 1914 was Veeky Forums as fuck, don't you think?

You rang?

They are perfect for parades.

...

boi

I've always been a fan of the it ain't me uniform

>wearing red hats and trousers while charging en mass into prepared spiky caps
It really was a miracle of the marne

You forgot
>tubular magazines

Like the ww1 ottoman ones quite a bit, particularly the helmet.

The Decima was aesthetic

Picture for non-ants

The cossack uniforms were pretty cool.

Truly envious of these soldiers desu. The standard battle load for soldiers is ridiculous nowadays. Say goodbye to your knees and back

it looks like they forgot to take off their pyjama pants
horrendous

He's also carrying next to no ammunition. Combat loads were already at 100lbs during WW2 and they didn't get any heavier by Vietnam. The load today isn't much heavier

Veeky Forums and convenient.

...

Why did military uniforms start becoming god awful suits? Why the camouflage when modern weaponry will tear you apart and leave barely anything behind? [spoiler]Explain to me. Why did Special Forces meme become so dominant in modern warfare?[/spoiler]

Are we ever going to see a return to 1900s French or Prussian design uniforms?

...

The horizon blue uniform was both more practical and better looking

...

Whose the fellow in the pic?more infor please

looks like those frenchmen are bout to go free them some slaves from the South

Judging from the ill-fitting and decrepit uniform and gear some poor-letztes Aufgebot- devil.

These.

Post Vietnam uniforms are pretty aesthetic as well.

Nice and edgy.

Redcoats will always be Veeky Forums

either a conquistador or his counterpart the aztec jaguar warrior

>not posting pictures of actual Napoleon's veterans

sure we'll see them, in a parade ground

South American ceremonial uniforms are the same as the ones a century ago

No that would be the Belgian uniform, but nice try

Myst be an old hag from some replacement or landwehr division

Based choice, ww1 Italy is underrated

>Bulky wool greatcoats worn year-round
>Red pants and hats to show everyone where you are
What did they mean by this?

It was not red for no reason, it was red so artillery, the king of the battlefield, would know where it should not shoot.

The downside was that the enemy's artillery knew where to shoot.

> Why the camouflage when modern weaponry will tear you apart and leave barely anything behind?
So that the people behind the modern weaponry you speak of don't fucking see you

They look like "witch hunters"

>this thread is full of fucking liars.
What a surprise.

That said, I also believe that for a bunch of pie-faced socialists the PIRA was the most aesthetic insurgency

He's just some random old coot called into landwehr service

read "The Things They Carried."

The IRA did not have uniforms
They wore whatever they wanted with some stolen woodland DPM thrown in occasionally

I like cold war El Salvador's Guardia Nacional uniform. Even if they were glorified fascist thugs.

I like the IDF attire

diapers are included

This is stupid. Many people would shit or piss themselves in conflict. It's a physiological response that you can't prevent. Most of them aren't even aware they're doing it. Plenty of stories from WW2 about this kind of thing.

You would piss yourself too. These are just average Israelis, not soldier-type soldiers.

Not just pissing but shitting also.

what are the bags on the helmets for?

Why don't they use camouflage?

shut up antisemites

emergency diapers

Really channeling the Iron Brigade I see.
