U.S. Navy retired, mid 70s - mid 90s, uniform quality and fluctuations was a horror story. Wy wife was appalled by what I wore to work most of the time that she made shirts from scratch. When I was assigned to a billet that required a shirt and tie uniform, I mail ordered higher quality (before Internet) shirts and shopped at some high end stores until I found suitable trousers, took them to a "real" tailor who took them apart and remade them. Best money I ever spent on uniforms. Bespoke gets my vote! It's OK to invest in yourself!

The British Army guys that were with us were wearing a bunch of uniform combinations. The US Army had one. I was told by the ranking British Army Captain that there were 16 different uniform combinations in the field. I'm sorry but I thought that was crazy. So how does it work today for soldiers?
@benbrown77086 жыл бұрын
well it kind of depends. Theres No. 1 and 2 dress, both of which are parade dress. Theres mess dress, which is an evening thing worn on formal occasions, like a 'tux' as you americans call it. Theres No. 13s (idk why is skips the others) which is not really used but its a semi formal sort of thing, but still work dress. Then theses the general Issue MTP stuff for day to day and actual combat. The exact kit used on the day (ie helmet, ballistics protection, ect) is set by the OIC and is mission dependant. Then there is various Regimental dress. That about sums it but, but im not actually in the forces so im not 100% sure
@jasonunwin54226 жыл бұрын
We were in the field at the time and it seemed each of the British Army soldiers was in their own uniform combination. I guess the Officer In Charge (OIC) had not specified a specific uniform. Soldiers get a uniform allowance and officers get a one time allowance to buy uniforms (1983). It may be different now. Does each regiment have their own specific uniform? That could get expensive I would think.
@k.r.baylor88256 жыл бұрын
IIRC, they have quite an extensive list of dress uniforms, but not all of them are required for all service officers or members. It also depends on the regiment. Here's a handy Wiki list: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniforms_of_the_British_Army#Numbered_orders_of_dress
@taoliu39496 жыл бұрын
A lot of those 16 'orders of dress' are just variations of each other, such as summer/tropical vs winter/temperate wear. Then you have mess dress and multiple combat uniforms, some of which are phased out. Also, a lot of the uniforms are only issued to certain units or certain billets. If you think of it in US Army terms, think of the Class A's, Class B's, and the Mess dress being separated into different uniforms. Then you have the cammies and the variety of parade uniforms you only see worn by ceremonial units. Granted, it's still less than what the Brits have, but that's because the US Army did away with its service and white uniforms. It makes more sense if you served in one of the Naval services like the USN or USMC, but even then it's still organized terribly IMO. At least the USN/USMC categorizes it's uniforms into specific levels of dress (utilities/service/dress uniforms) which makes it easier to follow.

You'd think they know that Service Dress no longer exists. No.2 Dress for all ranks now

That last fitting should have picked up the faults, front and back! Not good enough, that taylor would have to do better if he was doing my uniform! Royal Warrant indeed, I hope The Boss does not know or she could withdraw her favour.

I never liked the army service dress. The colour, that a belt is not worn as standard and, for O.R’s, black boots! Major revamp long overdue!

can anyone explain what the red collar and band mean on a British army uniform means? I've been searching the internet and it appears to be one of the quirky British secrets.

@@nickharvey5149 Not true! Staff officers can be captains! Usually you'll pick up your first staff job as a captain, once you've finished a platoon commanders tour. It's part of the big step of preparing you to become a company commander. True to a certain extent though! Staff officers do wear the red tabs on their collars. The red sash Herr geist is asking about I think, is the one worn by a platoon sgt. If he was referring to the dam brown belt and band, then that is a dark brown or black belt and sash combo worn by wo2s and upwards, all other ranks in no2 dress should be wearing white belt kit with bayonet and scabbard!

@@nickharvey5149 I think you mean “General Staff officers”. In WW1 all staff officers, even Captains, wore red tabs, but nowadays it is only full Colonel and above who wear this, together with the GS capbadge. Staff officers up to SO2 can be Captains, Majors or Lt Cols, but they will all wear regimental insignia, while most, but not all! - SO1 staff officers will be full Colonels.
