The Monaco carabiniers head cover is a variation of what is called a Pith helmet, it was used frequently by British, French, and other European colonizers in Africa and Asia from the Victorian era to WW1. For example, if you've ever seen the movie Zulu, the British soldiers at the battle of rorke's drift wear in the movie, and wore in real life, Pith helmets.

The Malaysian Guard skirt (Samping) and hat (Songkok) is a part of Malay traditional clothes and their uniforms are white because Malaysia is a tropical country with hot and humid weather. As we all know, wearing white clothing will reflect the heat from the sun.

@WARISAN SUKAU the samping & songkok are part of the clothes. It's not from the west. From ancient civilization to the modern day era, While the west were wearing clothes from fur, hide and gunny bags, the Chinese has work long sleeve shirts created from silk.

For the Malaysian uniform, its not for only the Royal Malay Regiment but its a ceremonial dress for ALL branches of the Malaysian Army here which differs from the Royal Navy and Royal Airforce. The kain sampin is only for male "other ranks". Even though the weather is hot and humid here, the "number 1" uniform is designed to keep in moisture and even on parade, it keeps us cool. Anyway, as a grunt its really normal to be baked under a hot afternoon sun for a few hours daily and after a while, you don't seem to sweat :Þ. By the way, don't pronounce Malay as "may lay" instead say "muh-ley" as in "Malay-sia"

I have to mention for Malaysian uniform, just like the sampin (skirt), the songkok (hat) is also part of our national heritage. So it is unlikely and rather disrespectful to ask us to change it. Even our member of parliament wears it as part of ceremonial dress...as also other Malaysian men during holidays festivities or even daily prayers. Always been proud of the Malaysian uniform...man enough to wear skirts and proud of it. Though I prefer sarong, less thing to wear beneath, more airy and cooler. People may joked about behind our backs...but never in our face...not a wise move against a culture where men wear skirts as their daily garment. Not sure what people are complaining about the heat...that's why we wear white. It deflects heat and certain fabrics are cool in our climate like pure cotton or linen. Also we wear undergarments that absorb sweat, most people here who work outside in the open does that. As the inner garments slowly dry, it cools the body. It's basic convection cooling. The less surface of our body exposed to the sun, the less hot it is...as long as one wears the correct type of fabrics and layers of it. It also prevents that embarrassing sweat patch on your clothes like on your back or armpits and having it sticking to your skin. The sweat is absorbed and distributed evenly in the absorbent fabric of our inner garments. In dusty hot weather dirt will stick to the sweat patch on your clothes and muddy it. See those marching soldier under the hot sun and their faces glistening with sweat...do you see any sweat patch on them? My point precisely. I guess most younger Malaysian doesn't practice this smart method of dressing any more and modern day fabric like polyester and hybrid cotton is not good for our climate...and many don't find it too stylish to wear "practical" clothes. Some of the older folks even used to wear towel lining under their collar to keep cool and the outer hem clean. I still do as I used to work as construction site engineer and now retired as a farmer. Sometimes I go as far as wearing shirt, trousers and neck-tie...then wear an overall over it when I need to go into dirty heavy machinery labs complete with safety gears of gloves, boots, goggles, earmuff, etc. Sure I sweat a lot but it doesn't show on the outside and I don't suffer from the heat. I even wear double layer of socks so that it keeps my feet dry quicker in our hot damp environment and prevent blisters. Another military practice from the old days of the British colonial...something many today have forgotten. In our hot humid environment, it is best to avoid your skin dry to avoid heat stroke. Moisture next to your skin helps keep you cool. Remember...when judging garments...real men not only wear something that look good, and seemingly practical...but also practical in so many levels that's hidden from sight. You have still much to learn...and so am I...one thing I learn from other culture is that I'm fascinated with the Russian foot wrap that is highly practical compared to our socks in many ways including foot health and hygiene.

[@fawziekefli2273]

A couple of notes on the Malaysian uniform. 1. The "skirt" was _not_ traditionally that short. Traditionally it was down to half-shin; but militarily-speaking, that would be impractical, so it was shortened to above the knee. A "kilt" would be a better description. 2. It's only worn by the rank-and-file (including warrant officers for you Americans). Officers do not wear them. 3. Officers of all the services wear a white tunic with appropriate-coloured pants. White for the navy, green for the army and so forth. This is because the uniform is based on the British No. 3 Dress (Or No. 1 White Tropical Dress) which replaced the darker tunic with a more practical white top. 4. It's pronounced KAA-yeen DAA-GAANG. But props for the attempt. 5. Medal sizes are stolen from the Brits, who happen to be physically larger, so _they_ can pull it off. 6. In Brunei (which has exactly the same uniform, bar the colours/patterns) the navy has swapped out the songkok for a more western naval cap for all ranks; so at least _they_ get some eye protection!

[@bluntdagger]

Yeah and Warrant Officers have a big red sash and their "broken watch" is on the right elbow to show their rank.

[@khairulnazmi3993]

Warrant officer are now also wearing an officer's dress. For their rank, nowadays they r not using the 'jam pekak' for no. 1 dress. The rank is being wear similar to rank and file but little bit lower.

[@khairulnazmi3993]

To add on it, for our airforce and navy did not use sampin for the rank and file. For airforce, the rank and file still using white uniform with blue trousers whereas for officers are both blue.

[@gloveemas]

both bruneian and malaysian navy and air force ceremonial uniforms are using peak caps, only the army maintained the songkok i guess in a way to honor how old the army is compared to other branches

The Irish Guards wear blue because blue (known as St Patrick’s Blue because its the colour associated with St Patrick) is the colour of Ireland in heraldry and is still the official colour of the Irish state today.

About the lack of leg armor on the Swiss Guard uniform: If you look at Medieval artwork, they'd sometimes leave the legs unprotected for increased comfort and mobility. Also when the Guards were first formed, firearms had started to come onto the battlefield, forcing an increase in thickness of the cuirass, pauldrons, etc; so it made sense to forego leg protection. Also, if you think the Swiss Guards' uniforms are loud, you should check out their German (region, not a country at the time) contemporaries: the landsknechts.

the helmets are pith helmets, mostly used in warm climats by, for example, the british in their colonies. The one they're wearing is called the Colonial style, you also got the Wolseley helmet, which I prefer, but it's newer than this one, being used mostly in the 20th century.

The Monaco guards wear covers identical to British police helmets which were also worn by the Army before WW1 and used by Regimental bands now.

As a german soldier, i agree with you especially in terms of tailoring. I personally like wearing the uniform, it makes me feel 1st gucci.

If you look closely at this uniform, you can see a lot of similiarities in this uniform with the older uniforms from and before WW2, for example placement of pockets and how the pockets are sewn. I personally think, the only thing to improved really is the tailoring. When you go to the depot in your first week of basic, you dont get measured properly (eventough you get this custom made for every soldier!). A bunch of different sized jacket and pants are hung up on the wall and you just try them on and say ,,Yeah this one fits best" and thats it, you wont get it more precise than that...

The Queen's Guards can be differentiated by the number of buttons, the groupings define the unit.

The Vatican Swiss Guard is the best looking one, IMO! They say than the original uniform was disigned for Michael Angello him self, and that´s awsome!

[@tommyblackwell3760]

The German Bundeswehr dress uniform actually uses different colored collar tabs and piping to denote what branch the soldier belongs to, and the beret color often changes as well. The assignment of colors is based in the history of the armies of the various large German kingdoms (mostly Prussia) before the unification in 1872. Green tabs & beret is Infantry, for example. Panzer troops have the old Cavalry pink tabs & piping, but wear a black beret. Paratroopers wear Infantry green tabs, but a maroon beret. Can't argue with you about the need for some tailoring though, and their boots are just screaming for some Kiwi!

[@erwinmuller1266]

I mean they don’t use the boots as often I mean the normal troops use their combat boots bloused but only with the large dress unifrom for big ceremonies and the wachbatallion Aka guardbatallion are using jackboots

[@timengineman2nd714]

Monaco: the Pith Helmet, which was originally made of Cork! The idea was for (at first a British) soldier to soak it in water before going out into the sun. There are vents and as the water evaporates it helps prevents Heat Exhaustion. (A thanks you to: The History Guy for showing this a few months ago...)

I think that a place on the list was deserved by the presidential guard of Greece, the euzones wear characteristic costumes that represent each region of Greece (the costume of the islands, the Cretan one and the greek classical one) and as a body , the guard has existed since the creation of the Greek kingdom.

[@shibe1367]

Honestly, I love the German Uniform for its simplicity. The grey is a classic harkening back to its Prussian roots and it really exemplifies professionalism and discipline to me. However, I think it would be better with the soldiers wearing a modernisation of the Pickelhaube with the Bundesadler on the front.

Reqlly liked the Video. Have you thought of maybe talkung about maybe prussian (around 1870) or imperial german uniforms? There are a lot of great uniforms like the famous death head hussars or the guard uniforms etc.

[@dieidiotenkatze]

Forgot to mention this: you can aslo distinguish the Guards by the buttons on their uniforms, and the badges on the epaulettes and the collar. Eg: the Grenadier Guards has even spacing between the buttons, a fusilier on the collar and the royal bagde on the epaulettes.

[@SteamboatWilley]

Yep. Scots guards have a thistle badge on their collar, Welsh guards have a leek, Irish guards have a shamrock, grenadiers have a grenade and Coldstreamers have a star and garter.

The Carabiniers sport the Pith or Sun Helmet, actually copied and adapted from the Filipino Salakot when the Europeans were going around colonizing SE Asia. It became popular in the 19th century with most European armies adopting it as their main head gear due to it's practicle designs for hot climates. The helmet allowed good air flow and offered good eye and neck protection from the sun. Thai Royal Guards also wear these with heavy plumage to mimic the general tall hats of the British Foot Guards without it having to be Bearskins.

Sampin were created as part of a light armour, been woven with gold or silver thread. Some Malay cloth need inserter some herbal or medicinal thread to prevent the injuries to become severe. But this only apply 500 years ago during the height of Malay Sultanate.

[@tacitus7698]

As a German, I fully agree with you on our uniforms. The German armed forces lost their sense of fashion after WW2!

Thanks for calling out the Star Trek rip-off. But as a fantasy fan, AND as someone who has handled both weapons (Renaissance Faires 1999-2001, playing soldiers) I have to correct you strongly on the difference between a halberd and a pike. The pike is just a long, long spear going out to 12-14 feet long, while a halberd is an AXE on a pole, coming out to maybe 7+ feet only. The pike is something you only use on formation, for the most part, while, halberd can be used that way OR as a personal weapon. Since the Swiss used the halberd famously in combat formation, but bodyguards need to carry one-on-one weapons, that's why the Guards carry the halberd . . . NOT a pike. Trust me on this, I've marched in time with pikes, wearing armor and Shakespearean clothing in the summer heat, so I know one when I see one.

My father joined the Welsh Guards in 1938 and took part in the BEF landing in France and evacuated from Dunkirk 1940. He went back on D Day. He was on palace guard duties between those years and repairing bomb damage. His favorite guard duty was at the Bank of England where they patrolled inside the building, hob nailed boots were exchanged for gym shoes, so as not to damage the marble floors. At the end of duty each guardsman was issued a newly minted half-crown piece, this would buy several pints of beer, so soft shoes and beer money you can see why they liked that guard duty.

[@denisvermeirre1024]

You missed a couple of interesting details about the Queen's Guard. First, they are not only differentiated by the hackle on their bearskin hat (yes, it's real bearskin. No, it's not that heavy) . They are also differentiated by their collar insignia and by the placement of the buttons. Grenadiers have a straight row of buttons. Coldstream buttons are in pairs, Scots in threes, Irish in fours and Welsh in fives. Secondly, Grenadiers are meant to be very tall. They originally were meant to carry "grenades" which they would lob at the enemy, in addition to fighting with guns. The tallest men were selected for these units as they had longer arms and thus would usually throw grenades farther. The bearskin hat is intended to make them appear even taller to intimidate the enemy on the battlefield.

[@dmman33]

You also might want to do a wholesale Napoleonic era uniform review, going around to all the different countries between the French Revolution in 1789 and the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. I say this because you seem to like uniforms from that era the best.

After wwl the Prince / Fürst of Monaco was a bit elderly and had no children. So the French feared, the Monaco dynastie dies out, and german Urach dynasty ( Side branch of Württemberg dynasty) would replace them. So a treaty was signed, that in case of dieing out of Grimaldy dynasty, Monaco becomes a part of France. But this did not happen, because Rainier, father of current prince was born.

Can you do the 154th Preobrazhensky Independent Commandant's Regiment? As a regiment that was disbanded but recreated once more in 2013 it could be interesting to talk about.

[@MrJazzBond]

Germany was unified from several dukedoms and city-states. Hence it would be difficult to see their traditional (military) elements for parade uniform since it will be too favourable on one or some particular areas/cities in Germany. Besides, their historically military uniforms during dukedoms & city-states era were borrowed from France or UK, which was not easily distinguishable than the colour and shape of the helmet/pickelhaube. So, in defense, the grey field/feldgrau is historically unified colour for German military. But we can't pick any inspirations from uniform in 15-19th century.

[@wileyallen1545]

Liking this series Antonio. If you do another give some love to your neighbours to the north. Most units have a simple forest green suit so nothing really spectacular that stands out (but hey, it’s Canada right?) The Guards in Ottawa have pretty much the same style as the Brits guards in this video. However the Canadian Highland and Irish Infantry Regiment's dress uniforms really stand out, very similar to our counterparts in England. Takes some stones to wear a kilt and cutaway and even more to back it up. We wear normal CADPAT camo field uniforms when on daily duty with distinctive head dress and unit badges though.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

[@minuteman4199]

Most reserve regiments in Canada have distinctive dress uniforms. I was in an armoured regiment and we wore "patrol dress" on regimental parades. For officers it was black and for other ranks it was dark blue with a white shoulder belt and chain mail epaulets. It was a very cool uniform. The Queens Own Rifles have a "rifle green" uniform with pill box hats and black leather belts which is pretty cool.
