This video was suggested by a subscriber, who contacted me to suggest the topic of military influence on men's style. Intrigued by the idea I undertook some research and was amazed at just how influential the military fashions have affected civilian styles over the decades.
Hope you enjoy.

Chino sounds way more appealing than Made in China

I think like most ex military that the standards instilled carry on into civi life. For me after 18 years as a royal marine personal hygiene, appearance, fortnightly hair cut and fitness standards are still as important today at 50 as they were in service. Good advice Ash keep up the good work.

My father is 90 and still refers to his army service, which was 70-years ago. My own military service has definitely influenced my personal style - yes, perhaps I am conservative and straight-laced, but it works for me!! Thank you for your service sir!

@paddymallory4080 3 года назад

@@TheChapsGuide There is nothing wrong with being conservative, straight laced or following traditional old school themes! Personally I think society may be a little better for those traits. Im at my happiest looking at my collections of safety razors and fountain pens. Thank you to sir for yours and your fathers service, and keep up the fantastic work with the channel.

Great educational video. Didn’t know the cravat had it origins in Croatia. Thank you.

@sabelgroupari 3 месяца назад

Thank you, Sir. I was born in the metropolitan side of Angola, where there were clothes that were amalgamations of indiginous and globally-developed styles. Just as it is fascinating to find the etymologies of words, the stories of how people developed clothing is equally as enlightening. Military-influenced clothes are more so because the military always aims to build the best without compromise.

@b-dogswings8019 3 года назад

An elastic, snake buckle belt was often worn by small boys in the 50s and 60s. These too had military origins.

@alamore5084 3 года назад

I remember having these back in the day.

@iansoutryer3189 3 года назад

I was not aware of the military connection of both the wellies and of jeans. A very interesting video. Thank you!

@paddymallory4080 3 года назад

Unfortunately during my service days all the best dressed marines wore Ron Hill Tracksters and a Berghaus jacket! I’m glad that fashionable look never really caught on!

@danielalec 3 года назад

I loved the video and connection between the military and its influence on civilian clothing. I would add that the trench coat is a jacket that got its origin in the military. I have two trench coats, one is black and the other is camel. As you mentioned in the video, there are many other clothing items you could have included. I would suggest that men try on a trench coat and see how it feels and looks on them. You might be surprised how good they can look. Keep the videos coming, you do a great job.

I got my first pair of aviator sunglasses at the PX in Vietnam. $2.00. Lasted for decades until the plastic covering at the ears disintegrated. Still wear that style. Great video.

@viclucyzia 3 года назад

But why did you forget the trenchcoat Ash? It has military background from the 1st world War used in the terrible trenches to keep dry and warm. BTW also space technology gave the microfiber, carbon fibers, polyesthers and other materials used in activities in extreme environments and sports. Great presentation.

@b-dogswings8019 3 года назад

I was going to mention the trench coat myself but you have already done so.

@TheChapsGuide 3 года назад

I may revisit this topic in the future, there are many more military inspired items if apparel out there to share.

@alexanderdylanthomas1891 3 года назад

Great video Ash, I’d love to see another discussing the creation, formulation and expression of one’s ‘signature style’, perhaps using yourself as an example. Things to do early on, things to try, and ultimately the distillation of one’s aesthetic sense into a cohesive personal image that bespeaks one’s personality.

@TheChapsGuide 3 года назад

I'm building towards a piece I have entitled 'My sartorial journey' which will unpack my own path to style nirvana, which I hope may be a discussion point for chaps on a similar track. *Coming soon.*

Just watched your video about how military influenced what we wear today.Two things you omitted which are very popular in civilian use today.The trench coat which dates from the IstWW. The other being the blazer which I be!ieve comes from the coats worn by the sailors serving on the HMS Blazer.You probably knew that but did not have time to include it.

@e-remes7029 3 года назад

The military. At the forefront of fashion since forever. Another highlight to my Saturday morning. Cargo shorts, my go to for "cutting about" in all year. My favourites are in M90 Swedish pattern. With today's snow, I will don long trousers whilst out and about though.

@kennethjohnson4838 3 года назад

Great video! My go to when wearing a suit is the Burberry trench coat -- especially as we head towards winter here in New Zealand. You touched on the bomber, and this style of jacket has so many variants (including the leather A-2 version) it might be worth a slight digression in a separate video. There are British makers that reproduce the famous A-2 and Italian luxury brands that bring an elegant style to it's precursor model, the A-1.

@TheChapsGuide 3 года назад

I did consider including the trenchcoat in the video, but it was getting too long and was eventually cut for brevity. There maybe a part 2 to this topic in the future.

@FAS1948 Год назад

I'm surprised you didn't mention the great coat, because before cabs were standard on tractors, the ex-army great coat was the best protection against the weather.

@canadafree2087 Год назад

Lost in translation. Style gurus, "One should wear a jumper of Italian wool" Me, Puts on a wool Italian military commando jumper. ;) I love learning the military history of men's style and always chuckle inside when I am wearing something like my Navy peacoat.

Dear friend, very nice video, thank you. I like to remind you the NATO strap, used first for the British military since 1973, and today by the civilians like me, a watch strap lover and watch collector. Kind regards

Brovo Zulu Ash. You are very much correct the list is too long gray short video. Things that come to mind for me are the cumberbund and the wristwatch. And as I recall the prince Regent a great friend a Beau Brommel started wearing huzar boots with tassels in the front in his day to day clothing. Cheers Ron

Could you delve into Denison smock and Ventile smock if you are inclined to talk about military next time? These two British gears are legendary to me.

@alalder1533 3 года назад

I believe that denim jeans originated from sailors in the 14th/15th century around the Gulf of Genoa/Liguria. The name jeans is believed to be derived from the port of Genoa being called ‘Genes’ in French.

@thenicklas615 2 года назад

That's a beautiful countryside wow! Ash is it proper to wear an cravat with a short sleeve pink dress shirt?

@TheChapsGuide 2 года назад

I do not wear cravats with short sleeve shirts - but that’s just my dress code.

@j.burgess4459 3 года назад

Interesting stuff. But there's another episode here - military influence on timepieces! And even on watch straps! Allegedly NATO troops still wear watches on the eponymous canvas strap (although I don't know whether it's strictly adhered to in practice anymore?)

@TheChapsGuide 3 года назад

That may indeed make a good future video.

@JimWillShave 3 года назад

Then came the useless DMS boot. They failed miserably during the Falklands campaign. The Chino history is very interesting Ashley. The Royal Navy to this day call their working trousers Denims. Nice video Ashley

@TheChapsGuide 3 года назад

I was issued the DMS boot when I first joined. Terrible boot and only good for working in really. Bought myself some decent boots as soon as I was able.

@JimWillShave 3 года назад

I was attached to a regiment squadron. So was fortunate enough to be issued with the tall boot with sewn in tongue.

@b-dogswings8019 3 года назад

USA Navy WW2 fatigues (Denim trousers and white tee shirt) became the uniform of young Rock and Rollers in the late 40s and early 50s. Add to it a leather bomber jacket and you have the classic American greaser.

@iansoutryer3189 3 года назад

Have cargo shorts ever been worn by soldiers? In military usage all I know is the full length cargo trousers.

@e-remes7029 3 года назад

We were issued them for Afghanistan. Soldiers in WW1 cut their trousers down in the hot summers.

@DaleDixieMafia 2 года назад

Denim jeans were a proletarian fashion long before they were military fashion.

@iradiakalenz4225 2 года назад

Hello! I'd like to ask, do you think it's appropriate to wear a military-issued greatcoat? Without any insignia. Bought it second hand, it's a beatiful heavy warm overcoat, but I've been thinking lately, maybe it's wrong to wear it, as I've never served.

@TheChapsGuide 2 года назад

Military surplus ha traditionally been a very acceptable avenue for gentlemen to acquire good quality garmentry. As long as there are no insignia or other military identification symbols it is entirely appropriate to wear. I suspect it will be an excellent overcoat too.

@colinhamilton562 3 года назад

Is the trench coat military based?? I thought it was.

@iansoutryer3189 3 года назад

Yes you're right. As can be seen from the epaulettes and the D-rings. But I think they were only worn by officers, not by ordinary soldiers.

@viclucyzia 3 года назад

Absolutely. Coat for the trenches

@TheChapsGuide 3 года назад

The trench coat was introduced by Burberry, who responded to requests by army officers for a more practical garment than their standard issue greatcoats, which were useless when wet and a=caked in mud. Burberry responded with the trenchcoat - the rest is history.
