LTC (Join to see) - I think it is a draw between the Greek Evzones and Pakistani Border Guard uniforms...

PO1 John Miller - Yes, it is. Before you know it, the gender-benders will demand the US military go to something as "fabulous".
I saw an article today that the Navy was going to "unisex" uniforms. I hope they use the male version and not the female version as the choice.

COL Jean (John) F. B., I was going to post something from France. But, then I saw this. No need. This can not be topped. Bad as bad gets.

Not knocking the Greek Military, but this has to be one of the worst dress (ceremony) uniforms out there.

I have heard that about the Swiss Guards also but how tough to you have to be to protect the pope and where were they when JP2 got shot.

I say bring back the M1898 Tunics...simple, sharp, works for all services (well, ok...the Marines added some nice touches)

For our wedding, my wife (a professional seamstress) wanted a "Historical" theme-the early 20th century. She also wanted me in uniform. I explained that my SDBs were only relevant to the period around 1930 on. She did some research, and after locating an original Navy version of the M189 tunic in a museum, made a correct pattern copy based on my rank and record, relevant to 1898 regulations. The result was pretty stunning to say the least.
(For the observant)-The regulations around the 1890s prescribed "service chevrons" for officers representing periods of overseas deployment. Rank was featured both on the sleeve and collar for the Navy, while the Army used collar rank with branch (CAV, Artillery, Infantry) insignia. The Navy used a silver anchor for "line" officers. She was even able to source original period mohair trim used in the originals as "New Old Stock", and used official US Navy trim braid for the sleeve ranks. I had the collar ranks re-created by a professional embroidery company.
