You should do a video ranking the uniforms of the U.S service academies and senior Military Colleges. Citadel, VMI, USAFA, USNA, and West Point in particular have really nice and unique uniforms.
Actually it was Prussian generals and officers who trained the Chilean military and their officers so it actually is part of the history wearing the pickle helmet and the German/Prussian style uniform
I dont think pickelhauben were ever designed to have an anti cavalry function though! The idea of a line of soldiers all leaning forward to hold off a cavalry attack is quite funny
@@imperioustsarist8580 actually it is the point. They are made of boiled leather. Very limited protection...they certainly didnt train to present their helmets to cavalry.
Yes, the Germans did have an influence over Chile's military, they trained them and even gave Mausers to the Chilean Carabineros (the actual Chilean police, idk what was their job back then), there's another Chilean uniform that is more similar to a German one. The Chilean army has made some Prussian Parades and we're called "the other Prussian army" (or something similar, I don't remember very well), and some people say they are better at keeping the German history than the Germans itself. I'm Chilean, viva Chile.
2:25 that uniform is worn by officers whilst receiving awards/medal. The gentleman you've highlighted is a Lieutenant Colonel from the Army Ordnance Corps. The cravat/ascot is unique to the Ordnance corps. Similarly the gentleman on the right is from the parachute regiment and hence different headwear and cravat
The collour of the "Nordic Uniform" in this video is only used for the "evaluation version". When the uniform will be issued, it will have the camo patterns used by each country today.
@@A_Norwegian by the looks of it, it seems to be akin to the multicam pattern, but in the old Norwegian colours if going by the look of the new mask bag is a indication. Having just 5 more years to retirement, I think that it probably as close to the NCU that I will ever come...
The front of the kilt that's dangling is the sporran which means "purse" in Gaelic, a traditional part of male Scottish Highland dress, is a pouch that performs the same function as pockets on the pocketless kilt.
That sporran with the long horse hair runs $1,000. There are cheaper but different ones. The shoes are worn with spats which fit above and come down over the shoes. The entire outfit can be purchased on the internet.
Two points. The Nordic uniform will be issued in each country's respective camouflage. The colour seen, was used during trials. The reason for the cooperation, is economic. Four countries together, will get better prices, than four seperate countries. What you called an Argeintinian "helmet", is actually a "shako". It absorbed some of the force of sabre/sword cuts, just like the bear skins used by French and British guards....
Chiles army was built up by Prussian military advisors that’s where that tradition stems from. Their Navy on the other hand was built up by the British.
Scottish soldiers were "brogue" shoes, as these were originally Scottish, designed to let the shoes dry out more quickly. And the "bag" worn in front is called "sporran" (Gaelic for purse).
Brogues were originally soft leather and full of holes, the function was to drain water (much like the famous US Jungle boots). Now they have decorative punches in them that don't gall all the way through.
@@jon-paulfilkins7820 scottish kilt shoes are still brogues and they essentially don't have a tongue so they drain very quickly. The brogues without holes are actually not technically brogues
The Nordic uniform seems to be using the same "Canadian buttons" that were used on various pieces of Danish uniform pieces, most notably the smocks. They're very durable, silent and easy to use, and most importantly also easy to use while wearing winter gloves.
ALOT of countries use "Canadian" slotted buttons because of the ease of use with gloves as well as the fact it takes a lot to make them fall off. Yes the Danish have them on their "hot weather" pants but so does the Finns on the M05 uniform..... and the Sweds use them on their "Jagdmunster" uniform
Regimiento de Granaderos a Caballo from Argentina (Argentinian Mounted Grenadiers). They are the presidential guard unit and they keep their original - so to speak - uniform to this date. This is isn`t just a historical unit but an actual functional one and it's quite an honor to serve in.
The new AGSU (Pinks and Greens) are made by a manufacturer out of Cincinnati, OH, who also manufactured uniforms for the Civil War (North & South) and many current uniforms.
The Maron beret is only for the most Elite forces only( SF, Airborn, those heavy-duty guys ,signifies Sacrifice) The second uniform was the - Ceremonial uniform of INDIAN para military and some of the Infantry regiments ( various types of ceremonial uniforms are there but the common thing is you get to ware the cool Cravat 😉
You're Partly wrong bro, the second uniform featured is not of the Para SF, it is of the ARMY ORDINANCE CORPS check the uniform , it lacks the maroon shoulder tabs of the Paras and the caravat is navy blue with maroon stripes. Check the cap badge too. It does not have the parachute and the wings of the parasf. And lastly, no Para SF officer wears a Peak Cap. They all wear the Maroon Berret everywhere!
once you go a maroon baret ,you have to wear in all your army life even if you become a high ranking officer.THATS THE SPECIALITY AND POWER OF MAROON BARET. I dont know the 1st one, the 2nd one is NSG Uniform, 3rd one is PARA/PARA SF Unifrom
colour coded berets is something we germans also do. Bordeaux red is used by guys in troops like the paratroopers and KSK, Black is used by tankers and recons.....
The hanging pouch is called a Sporran and is worn with both the small kilt, as shown with the Scottish Regimental dress as well as it can be worn with the Great Kilt.
Hi Antonio, greetings from Argentina, new subscriber here (a few minutes ago). A little bit of history to enlighten you about min 9:52. The Mounted Grenadier Regiment (or Regimiento de Granaderos a Caballo) was founded in 1812 by our "Father of the Land" (Padre de la Patria) Col. José de San Martín, later General, when he came back from Spain. His very first battle took place Feb the 3rd of 1813 in a battlefield called San Lorenzo in our province of Entre Ríos against Spanish troops who were against our independence, and he won that battle. He, among others, were leaders of our independence from the Spanish Crown. Later, due to his success, he was commissioned to help Chile and Perú for their liberation as well and also succeeded. BTW: in both Countries he is well recognized. After that and because of several intestine fights, he decided to migrate to France where he died Aug the 17th 1850 at the age of 78 in the city of Boulogne Sur Mère. Several years later, a constitutional president negotiate with France to bring back his remains witch rests in the Cathedral of Buenos Aires guarded by 7 Grenadiers of his former Regiment. Because of all that history backing up this iconic Regiment, at the beggining of the XX Century it was decided that the Mounted Grenadier Regiment were the custodians of our Presidents and not only in a ceremonial way, but also in a practical way (something like the US Secret Service). Two side notes: 1) The uniform was designed by San Martin him self inspired in his former Spanish Husars Regiment where he did his military career. 2) When San Martin´s remains came back from France, late in the XIX century, only 7 of his original Grenadiers were alive and those 7 escorted his coffin to his final rest place. Since then and until now, ONLY the 7 best performed Regiment Soldiers are given the honor to do that escort. Third side note: every regiment has their own military band and the Mounted Grenadier Regiment is no exception, how ever it was for many years the ONLY mounted band existing in the world called the Mounted Regiment Fanfare. I hope this comment will give you a bigger context about our well beloved Grenadiers. Cheers from NE Patagonia, Argentina (a dream place).
¡Hola compatriota! Una pequeña salvedad, el Convento de San Lorenzo donde tuvo lugar la batalla está en Santa Fe (pegadito a Rosario). Lo demás, impecable. Abrazo desde Córdoba.
@@pablodemarchi09 Muchas gracias Pablo por la aclaración. Hace mucho que dejé Historia y Geografía (tengo 64...y contando ja ja), así que el detalle de la ubicación del Convento se me pasó por alto al momento de escribir el comentario. Un dato: este RU-vidr, no recuerdo si anterior o posterior al presente, volvió a mencionar y calificar con honores al uniforme ceremonial del RGC, lo cual no deja de enorgullecernos considerando la cantidad que hay alrededor del mundo. Un cálido y sincero abrazo virtual desde el NE de nuestra querida Patagonia argentina, (un lugar de ensueño).
I think you need to look at the British and Commonwealth "Patrol,Blues" They are usually issued to cadets of the military academy and all are rather tightly fitted, something that the American military never does
Been to Scotland recently, and the front pocket of the kilt was to hold hot stones to warm your... well, stones, and also to keep it from going up and showing your jewels in windy weather (or so I was told)
I love the Philadelphia cavalry uniform. I just love napoleon and pre-napoleonic uniforms and learning that the US, even if it's just one battalion, was sporting such a uniform was an absolute delight.
You have a over and under apron on the front of the kilt and then the sporran in the front. Sporran is the pouch on the front. They’re probably wearing uniform oxfords or ghille brogues under the spats then kilt hose and flashes keeping them up
The pouch at the front of the Kilt is the Sporran. Also if you want to check out Calvary uniforms check out the Lord Strathcona Horse (Horse Troop) of the Canadian Army.
I love the dress uniforms of Podhale Rifles (Polish mountain infantry). Cool insignia - edelweiss flower, hats with eagle feather and awesome overcoats thrown over one shoulder.
What i like about the nordic uniform is that they got rid of belt loops. No point in using a belt when you can use internal laces, so that you can comfortably wear a battlebelt when you need it.
The shoes are a double soled brogues with hobnails and the Spats over the Brogues. The brogues are issued with the front holes and these need to be filled in and polished extremely well to make the front highly polished and perfectly smooth. Definitely not fun to be issued a new pair.
Thanks for including the Navy dress blue crackerjack. I loved that uniform when I was in 1966-70. Then the pants had thirteen buttons on the front flap. Now they also have a dress white crackerjack that really looks nice.
The hanging front part of the kilt is called a Sporran and is actually a pouch...because there ain't no pockets on a kilt. That's were you stow your essentials and such.
1. Wehrmacht & W-SS 2. Finnish M36 3. Grande Armée & French Revolutionary Wars uniforms 4. Prussian late Napoleonic Wars uniforms (1813-1815) Etc. Etc. Etc. 5.
Those shoulder pads with a little bit of lace, the fringe, on them are called epaulets (or epaullets). They are usually worn by officers. The fancier the epaulet, more fringe, the higher the rank. They can be worn by all ranks with the insignia of rank on them, but the higher ranks will still be fancier.
British Coldstream Guards (king’s guards, I guess now). - you know the ones with the bearskins and red uniform. Very interesting permutations depending on rank. In fact, all of the ceremonial British uniforms are pretty badass, as you may have seen recently, with the new king and all that jazz.
Collectively there are 5 regiments of foot guards in the British Army and two cavalry regiments. They are all professional soldiers with hundreds of years of history and tradition behind them. They rotate through ceremonial duties in places such as London and on various military exercises. Each foot guards regiment will have different collar cuff and button formation on their scarlet tunics denoting the various regiment. The two cavalry regiments wear different coloured tunics one scarlet the other blue. They make up the household division. Various other regiments and corps have their own traditional dress uniforms as do the Royal Marines, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force.
In the US Army during the early 60s, the starched green fatigue uniform (daily work uniform) was typically worn with an ascot-style neck scarf in the color of one’s unit; eg, infantry - blue, artillery - red, medical - purple, Special Forces - camo, etc. With brightly colored unit patches and rank stripes, black US Army tape with gold lettering sewed above the left breast pocket, and white name tape with black lettering above the right, it was a fairly good looking uniform. Old film footage of combat troops in Vietnam shows them wearing it still. That changed quickly to more realistic drab colors, though.
The kilt is simple. 2 Aprons, 27 to 31 box pleats (military kilt always box pleats), a belt and a sporran. That part at the front, that's the apron. And most kilts are made from 7 linear yards of tartan wool fabric
That grey version of the new nordic combat uniform is just a prototype, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland will have the same uniform but in each camouflage pattern. My country (Sweden) will keep the M90 with just a minor change, the pattern squares will be smaller than the previous to get a patent on the pattern which they messed up with the original M90 pattern. Thank you for the content!
The Norwegian camo pattern will look quite close to an kiwi with green background with small black dots on it. But to be fair it will probally take decades before the whole of norway military to switch to the new uniform and new camo pattern. Hell even a lot of our home guardsmen still use the m75, an super outdated and super heavy if its gets wet and takes ages to dry type off uniform.
wow... you really heard me the last time when i asked you to review Indian Army's uniform huh... my gosh I never thought you will do it... love and great respect for you man 🙏👏
You should check out BSF camel unit of the Indian armies ceremonial uniform It's extremely beautiful and has alot of history of it They actually ride on camels during parades

Two things: 1) The item in front of the kilt is called a sporran; 2) the Marine Corps "Mess Dress" is actually called the "Evening Dress." The Mess Dress was retired back in the 1970's - 80's. It consisted of a white dinner jacket vice the dark blue. There were other small differences as well, but I wanted to point these things out. Otherwise and interesting, well-presented video. Thanks! Major Brooks Wilson, USMC (Ret) (1967-87).
The cover worn by the First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry was practical against other cavalry; it's called a dragoon helmet, after the cavalry type that first used it. Dragoons were heavy cavalry units that were primarily used to conduct large cavalry charges, which necessitated the use of armor, hence the armored helmet and. They are not to be confused with cuirassiers, however who wore both the helmet and a breastplate called a cuirass. (this is a generalization and of course there were exceptions)
The Philadelphia City Cavalry, Front braids in the jacket were originally stiff wire, it protected against sword slashes, the shoulder boards intended to protect the shoulder blades from downward slashes. It's all from an era where armour would not stop a musket ball, but cavalry were expected to get into serious sword play (usually with other cavalry) so some protection is required. You will see Hussars with the small cape with the wire braid on it over one shoulder (to protect the arm holding the reins), even the Napoleonic fashion of braids of hair down the side of the face concealed bone, hard wood or even metal rods to protect the face from sword cuts.
RE: "that front part" of the kilt; if you're referring to the long white hair bit, that's a sporran. It's a pouch or pocket where the wearer can keep his cash, ID, and other necessaries.
Flyers always been cool, and navy uniforms in general the most stylish, International representation and diplomacy is an big part of the Navy in peacetime. Agree, that officers should have their dress uniform fitted.
You serious? The navy blue marpat uniform is ugly as hell dude. And the navy woodland marpat is a brighter copy of the marines woodland marpat which is by far the best camo uniform ever
The new US Army Green Service Uniform looks sharp, but the one thing I dislike about it is the garrison hat that looks too close to our USMC version in the way of it's shape. The last Army garrison hat I've seen worn a little over 21 years ago or so had pointed corners rather than rounded on the tops both forward and aft. I'm glad the USMC hasn't had to change it's style and color of our service and dress uniforms too much in almost a century if that.
@@mitchellsmith4690 That is true. The Army did have both rounded and pointed in WWII, and I was referring to the most recent version GI's wore before those black berets were introduced. Just saying. I have my dad's which he had worn during WWII that had light blue colored piping. Maybe the Army will add these colored pipings back to their current Garrison hats in the future.
@@battle_p9291 I would hope so, the coloured piping for branch of service would be a moral builder...right now infantry gets their blue cords and backing, the other 4 combat arms get nada. And those berets need to go...they were the mark of elites...Airborne, Rangers and SF.
The Australian Mounted Rifle units with their slouch hats should've definitely at least been mentioned. That hat alone beats a lot of uniforms out there.
The Turkish Air Force uniform at #6 is the ceremonial dress uniform. Regular dress uniform does not have the sword belt, gold embroidery on the shoulder board and is worn with blue (as opposed to white shirt). The photos seem to be from graduation ceremony where the newly minted officers (who were cadets a day earlier) are wearing this uniform for the first time, hence the fit is not perfect.
The three Astronauts in the white uniforms at 13:09 are Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee of Apollo 1. They were in their capsule for a pre-launch test on Jan 27, 1967, when a fire broke out onboard. Tragically, they were not able to get out. RIP.
Dress whites were nice because of no need for gig line adjustments. During BootCamp the RDCs taught us , using some string to hold the necktie(handkerchief) in place for years. I hated gig lines and tucked in clothes, even though I was a 5'6" 130lbs skinny sailor.
Hahaha! 2 hours making a recruit’s life hell. That’s hilarious Antonio, even though it’s true!🤣 Grab yer boots, a can o’ black, some distilled water, kiwi cloth and a few movies or a hockey game and have at ‘er! Don’t know the uniform but that one guy is definitely wearing an ascot. The front of the kilt is called an apron. Depending on the unit senior pers might have a kilt pin as well. Some units have various levels of kilted dress from informal day wear to full dress scarlets and whites. The shoes are British Brogues. Yes, real British Brogues. Mine cost over $700 per pair. Scottish socks are known as Hose. Loving these vids, keep them coming!
