Hi Antonio ! Regarding the traction of the Greek shoe you have to consider the terrain that they were originally used. When there where no modern materials studded shoes where the best for running on muddy ground or field.

[@csipawpaw7921]

As a footwear examiner, I also researched historic footwear. The main purpose of hobnails or studs is to increase the life of the shoe sole. Traction in soft soil, mud or ice, and snow was a bonus. A plain leather sole wore out too quickly causing logistic problems. The studs or hobnails go back to the Roman legion or possibly farther and the Roman soldiers also complained about the loss of traction on hard or paved surfaces.

A bit of history 1 the Evzones were and are elite light infantry which actions are dated since hellenistic age until today. Their current uniform though is inspired ín the clothes the klephs used. The klephs were freedom fighters from greece and some parts of the balkans who lived through banditry 2 the carabinieri, or carbiniers before being elected by the king to become their guard, they were a mounted unit belonging to the light dragoons. Their uniform was based on french soldiers uniform. Even before they were apointed as royal guard they already made police duties, as they do today 3 the Royal Guard of south Korea are basicaly a depiction of a full army from the joseon era, this army ín particular mas raised by the king himself, so their soldiers had to be highly trained őr have military experience, the army included infantry, archers and cavalry and was devided ín military service groups: the militia, with their capes and bright coloured clothes with a distintive unit character on their chest, the soldiers who whore leather armour but also could only wear a uniform with the colour of the unit, and the guard proper who wore full metal armor. 4 French Foreign Legion. Apart from what has been said, the FFL where created ín the 19th century after reformulating the French army which still operated with the Napoleonic system of units and contained many foreign units separated by the color of uniforms and flags. The pioneers on the other hand are a far more ancient unit. In the middle ages it was these men who built the siege engines, they were the ones who built the mines under the walls and in later stages they were the canoneers, all very dangerous jobs. 5 Fijis presidential guards.

[@wileyallen1545]

The Canadian Engineer Corps Pioneer Platoons still use the white aprons and gloves as a historical uniform and other forces do as well. The history is that Engineers and Pioneers were recruited from tradesmen, blacksmiths, coopers, lumberjacks, etc. Men who built stuff and worked with their hands. The apron and gloves were what these men brought with them into the service so it became a de facto uniform.

[@minuteman4199]

You are right in what you say, except that pioneers in the Canadian army are the engineer platoons in the combat support companies of the infantry battalions (the other platoons being reconnaissance, anti armour and mortar). They are specially trained infantry corps members, not engineering corp.

[@perikliskagialaris1445]

Original evzones were chosen soldiers for their performance, looks, body shape and beliefs and loyalty to the Greek king. They weren't the today young tall boys who serve in the centre of Athens for more picturesque souvenirs by the tourists. Back then in the first decades of 20th century when Greece had to liberate it's populations under Ottoman rule in Epirus, Macedonia, Thrace Evzones was an elite troop for boosting the morale and a battle proven unit that could make the difference from lose to win. Their uniforms were much more simple, practical and less fancy. Founta (pom pom) was not the norm in active duty and the uniform wasn't white either. Some of Evzones wore blue uniforms to represent their Macedonian descent and others wore vraka (something like a short loose pantalon) not foustanela in order to highlight their descent from Greek islands. The iron spikes on charouchia's sole made the difference on the muddy surface and the proper echo on harder surfaces (morale to other units). Therefore most of the criticism comes from the fact that Evzones transformed from an elite first line unit to decoration guards of king and later the President of Denocracy (a politician without true power who is dedicated for decoration and photos as well).

I'll defend that french apron; it's a good idea and i can definitely see it's usefulness, *not* as armor but as something that offers protection against brush obstacles or barbed wire which you need to clean. i think the idea is that if you have something that kind of protects you from nails, wire, splinters and the like, you will not need to worry about injury as much and will be able to work faster and more determined.

The Carabinieri is very unique in that they serve both as military units and police - apart, of course, from all the other national gendarmeries, notably the French Gendarmerie, the Spanish Civil Guard and the Dutch Marechaussee. This guy just makes it up as he goes along.

What about the Bersaglieri? When I was stationed in the Army in northern Italy, they had very odd uniforms. Also, the Carabinieri function as school crossing guards. Italians are very protective of their children. If you blow through a school crossing. They will literally haul an automatic weapon and shoot up your car. Carabinieri don't mess around.

[@thecommentaryking]

The Bersaglieri have the same uniform as the rest of the army. Their main difference is the headgear. For cerimonies they wear the Vaira, a brimmed hat with plumes (tradition mentions over 100), while for service and regular duties the enlisted wear a red fez, opposed to the beret worn by officers, NCOs and enlisted in permanent service. Their combat helmets instead use 50 plumes. The Carabinieri generally don't operate as school crossing guards, as that role is often handled by the local police of the municipality.

[@erosgritti5171]

Generally, some seniors in Italy do free school supervision work. They are careful that children cross the street without danger. Generally they are part of associations of ex-military, for this reason, sometimes, they wear the hat of their uniform. You have probably seen one of these :)

[@brittakriep2938]

To the french engineer soldiers: I old days in Germany some of the engineer soldiers had been called ,Zimmerleute' ( Carpenters), often they realy hat been cosruction workers in civilian life, the other engineer soldiers had been called ,Bergleute' ( miners). The job of Carpenters was it, to build bridges, wooden huts, to repair bridges, houses and to build or destroy wood/earth fortifications, also building bridges using boats and selfmade (!) pontons. The job of Miners was all kind of military exlposions, similar to modern door breaching equipment they had prepared ,Petarden' ( don' t know english word) to destroy doors/ gates. In case of sieges they had to dig a tunnel/ mine under the fortifications and try to destroy the fortifications by expotion of a very large gunpowder quantity. Now it must be clear, why military explosives with the name ,Mine' exist. To cunter such enemy mine tunnels, the defenders had to dig a counter tunnel, trying to destroy/ capture the enemies powder charge. Especially in long famous sieges of 17th century it happened, that under earth level, there had been knife/ pistol/ toolfights, or that the soldiers tried to clear noted enemy tunnels by smoke, often they threw things into the fire, that the smoke became more stinking or by adding chemicals poisoned. Also a note, to italian Carabinieri or french Gendarmes, serving as soldiers, douing mostly policework now. The name Gendarmes ( gens des armes/ men at arms) was in middleages used for heavy armoured cavallry, not allways of ,knights class', later Gendarmes had been basicly Cuirassiers without a cuirass. Here in Germany, may be also in Italy or other countries, no police as we know it today, existed in 18th century. Here in Germany ( or better HRE) every state had his own police force, and those of the dozens of german microstates had been not very usefull. In some cases the 40 men military of such a noble or spiritual lord served as ceremonial soldiers AND policemen, in larger towns sometimes a small unit of policemen/ gateguards existed, in rather large ,free towns' often a paramilitary force, but in rural areas? Only not very trained and armed nightwatchmen, field guards ( in french Gerdes Champetres, in my german region Feldschütz) and the Büttel/ towncrier, this existed also in towns. The Forrest oficials, who in wartime formed the Jäger units, also did some policework and a kind of ,political secret police' existed in larger states. If crime rose somewhere, the rulers send soldiers to this areas. In late 18th century, some german rulers started to create units , partly military, but doing only policework in peacetime. By the time, starting in napoleonic era, those units became police in peacetime, but still some military function in wartime. Today in Germany police is civilian only. To make it short, in Continental Europe, the policemen are basicly descendants of soldiers, while in anglosaxon countries, also may be Iceland, the policemen are descendants of former Büttel / towncriers.

[@Paul_Inman]

Interesting points about the carabinieri, first they sort of a branch of the police. They're a bit of a hybrid in that they are classed as a military unit but they're also responsible for a lot of domestic policing as well. And the name is not uncommon for the era. There's loads of examples of it, most famously of course being Musketeers (who in the stories seem more famous for not using muskets, go figure) but also you see Rodeleros in Spain (soldiers equipped with a rodel), Halberdiers, Curassiers (soldiers who a cuirasse). Broadly speaking, if you see a military unit whose name ends in "-ieri/-iares/-eros" it will be an Italian, French or Spanish name for a soldier equipped with a specific item. In English it usually translates to "-ier" or "-eer" but they will almost always be anglicised versions of a romance language root word

[@thaothelazycat930]

Dear Mr. Antonio Centeno, The pictures of the South Korean royal guards you provided are for the Sumunjang (수문장, 守門將, "door-protecting generals"). They are mostly there for tourism purposes and do not serve any military functions. If you would like to evaluate the traditional uniforms of the South Korean military, I suggest finding pictures of uniforms from the Traditional Honor Guard (전통의장대, 傳統儀仗隊). They are the representative unit that performs in military ceremonies and events. Their main functions include flag pageantry, receptions of esteemed diplomatic guests, and traditional martial arts demonstrations military ceremonies and events. However, most of their style is based on the late Joseon dynasty, with their main ensemble consisting of a gugunbok (구군복, 具軍服) and jeonrip (전립, 戰笠). The gugunbok consisted of an overcoat with sleeves of contrasting colors, typically in red, called dongdari (동다리, 同多里) and a long sleeveless, collarless vest, typically in dark colors, called jeonbok (전복, 戰服). It would be paired with a long blue cloth belt called jeondae (전대, 戰帶, literaly "battle belt") and a cloth strip with pouch-shaped ends called byeongbu (兵符). This outfit first appeared in the 17th century, post-Imjin War, but evolved into its final shape in the late 19th century. The uniforms the guards are wearing are called cheollik (철릭, 帖裏), which is a type of overcoat, or po (포, 袍), for soldiers and government officials. It was introduced during the Mongol occupation of Korea from the 13th to 14th centuries. The cheollik consists of a cross-collared top with detachable sleeves and a pleated skirt to allow for greater freedom of movement. It is a very functional garment that can be worn when doing archery, horse-riding, or practicing swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat. The style of cheollik evolved as the ratio between the lengths of the top and bottom changed throughout the Joseon dynasty. During the late Goryeo to early Joseon dynasties (14th-15th centuries), a form of cheollik called yoseon cheollik (요선철릭, 腰線帖裏) was popular. It consisted of a cross-collar top with narrow sleeves, a ribbed waistband that divided the top and bottom, and a pleated skirt. The ratio between the top and bottom was 1:1, meaning the top and bottom were of equal length. 9:42 The soldiers are mostly wearing bright colors since it was congruous with Korean five-color theory, or Obangsaek (오방색, 五方色), not to make them more noticeable in the battlefield. The black hats the soldiers are wearing are called heukrip (흑립, 黑笠), specifically in the round-crowned form popular during the late Goryeo and early Joseon dynasties called ballip (발립, 鉢笠). 9:26 The feathers on the hats are actually pheasant feathers. The beads hanging down from the hats are called gatkkeun (갓끈) and are typically made of precious gems or stones like jade. 10:31 The boots are called (목화, 木靴) and are made of black leather with seams of contrasting colors, often white. 9:16 The hats you mentioned are called nambawi (남바위). They are fur-lined hoods worn to keep the head and face warm in cold winters. With the ear coverings connected to the hood, they become pungcha (풍차, 風遮, literally "wind-blocker"). It is important to note that the Royal Guards in each of the Five Palaces wear different uniforms based on the period when that palace became the center of the royal court. In Gyeongbokgung, the Royal Guards wear this ensemble because Gyeongbokgung was the center of the royal court during the early Joseon dynasty. However, it was destroyed during the Imjin War, so the royal court resided in Changdeokgung. Changdeokgung was active as the center of the royal court during the 17th and 18th centuries, so the royal guards there would wear uniforms in 17th to 18th-century style. During King Gojong's reign from 1864 to 1907, Deoksugung became the royal residence and center of the imperial court when Joseon became the Korean Empire. Therefore, the royal guards would wear the gugunbok ensemble in late 19th to early 20th century style.

The apron was there to protect you, but not the way you said. These were also used by the Prussian Army during the 18th century. At this time the Colonel of a Regiment had to pay for the Uniforms of his Regiment. So they asked the King if the Engineers could be stripped of the apron to save money. The King didn't say yes or know, he invited some carpenters to his Palace, and asked them why they wear these aprons, they answered when we chop wood, and missed, the leather would be a basic protection against the blade of the axe. The King was Happy with their answer and gave the order that all Engineers MUST wear an apron for protection. So it was the first official Work safety rule in the world. The gloves would protect your hands, but when they were introduced for the Engineers, barbed wire wasn't invented, but thorns were a big problem, and with sweaty hands, you also have better grip on the handle of your axe. The beard had also the protect your face, look on pictures of carpenters or black smiths, they all have an apron and a beard.

The Greek uniform looks fine, the tussle could be shorter, but the feather bonnet of the highland regiments of the UK worked just fine in actual combat, so it's likely an overstated issue. The tunic and vest remind me of Irish traditional clothing, with a bit of a Renaissance Italian influence. Which makes sense, after all, the Irish had more cultural ties to the Mediterranean cultures than the mainland Celtic peoples, and Greece is a Mediterranean country. And of course, it's between Italy and Turkey, so the shirt will look something like a mix of Mediterranean designs. There's nothing wrong with using a pre-modern aesthetic in a military ceremonial or dress uniform. It might look off to someone who has a strong bias towards sleek modern clothes, but that's not a universal thing. Wearing hob-nails on rock or concrete just for the sound is the only thing I'd change. And the Carabinieri are not unique for being a military unit that also serves as civilian law enforcement. There are forces like that all over the world. And the word for such s force is French, Gendamere.

In fact by the 20th century, when the Evzones were an active special military unit, tasked with the more dangerous and difficult tasks, their campaign uniform made more sense. I guess that's why nowadays the Evzones go through extensive training, to make something impractical work, for the sake of our history.

When it comes to high speed low drag uniforms, nothing beats the hussars for me.

[@carltrotter7622]

Make a video on capes. Please!

[@north_warwolf1183]

Do the Army Pinks and Greens, modern day. Especially Sergeant Major Payne's fit of the Jump Boots, Ranger Beret w/CAG markings, and Infantryman markings and badges

[@OfficialJoyMoon]

I personally think breeches / Jodphurs should make a full comeback as military wear. They give great impression of dominance.

[@Svea_LifeGuards]

In the future can you make a video about the uniforms of the Swedish royal guard

[@clementkong8133]

Antonio, since you’ve already featured the British royal guards and now the Carabinieri, you might as well harken back to your latin hispanic roots and feature Spain’s Guardia Real & Guardia Civil.

[@tristanhogh1010]

Maybe next time check out the Danish garderhussar regiment uniforms, imo they're cool.

[@inregionecaecorum]

Yeomen warders of the tower with their tudor period uniform including starched ruff. Also the Chelsea pensioners

[@achmadmuslich5671]

The italian is cool. I want a shirt with same vibe red line to that

[@ALAPINO]

I liked wearing "cheaters" when I was permitted a lifetime ago. It made my presence intense commanding a drill team, honour guard, flag party. It absolutely destroyed any surface you drilled on. (Haha!) I thought wearing a sword was bad-ass, an Axe is pretty awesome. Uncharacteristically cool for the French. :P

[@josephfortenberry684]

I like the idea of a video on capes. The Army still authorizes them for the Mess Dress, but I don't know anyone that actually owns one.

[@markschneider7794]

I have seen it once, my battalion s1 wore it to a ball.

[@josephfortenberry684]

@@markschneider7794 way cool! Honestly I think they're sharp, just not a lot of opportunities to wear them. At $400, I doubt I'll ever spend the money.

[@thejuice5050]

There's an old French Foreign Legion uniform that was worn in the North African desert, it had a big cape.

[@antonioharvey2130]

Hey great video sir hey that's a really nice jacket

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Hey, thank you! Nice name Antonio.

[@csipawpaw7921]

In regards to the beards vs clean-shaven, clean-shaven became a thing in WW1 as a result of the need to have an airtight seal on the gas masks. Before that beards were common because this was before antibiotics and a nick shaving could result in a man's death. The safety razor was also invented then to reduce the odds of a nick while shaving. As for the long sleeves in Fiji, sunburn is still a thing and long sleeves protect a soldier who is out in the sun for hours on end.

[@craigevans6156]

The Carabinieri are a Para military force similar to the French Gendarmerie who although are part of the French military act as police in the French countryside outside of major towns and cities.

[@timothyhernandez3803]

We have capes in the US Army too. The only time I saw someone wear one was my CSM in the 411th CA BN. He was wearing his dress mess with the cape, and a medallion award from his branch. He looked like Leslie Nielson from the Dracula parody he did in the nineties. It looked great, but the timing of when he wore it got a lot of jokes hurled his way.

[@jastdi2]

True enough. I had one and wore it. Troops (at least pretended that they) thought it was cool.

[@clays.8122]

Antonio, you should do a tier list for fictional military uniforms. Namely the Star Trek uniforms over the years. And Also the Imperial and First Order officer uniforms from Star Wars

[@godfreygalea8181]

Nowadays, the 'service combat uniforms' seem all the same. But in WW2 these were quite different, so which country (major combatants) had the most practical uniform.

[@pavelthefabulous5675]

The first uniform: It's the trousers. I think if they were baggier (and maybe blue or black), it would work.

[@OrisOsiris1]

15:00 speaking of leather, my dad had a close call experience. he was wearing a kangaroo leather baseball hat when suddenly there was a wooden plank with a nail sticking out fell unto him. luckily, the leather baseball hat protected him and he was unharmed.

[@clintcarpentier2424]

I think you're off on the leather apron. Not buy much, but it's not armor; leather is piss-poor armor. What it is, is protection. Anyone who has had to manhandle obstinate shit out of their way, has often done it using their guts. It protects you from damaging yourself while you're grunting and spewing perfectly fluent french.

[@nattvaktenphotography]

Rate the Swedish Högvakten uniform.

[@dmman33]

Capes vid yes!

[@emersongarcia7128]

The traditional Fijian Sulu has the zig-zag hem. Most Fijians go bare-foot or wear flip-flops. When dressing up you wear your sandals. They "slap" sound when coming to attention - you have to hear it.

[@shadow0978]

I'd like to hear about the boat cloak.

[@juanmanuelmartinez-gamaoli5780]

Check out the Rhodesian army: SAS, Selous Scouts, Light Infantry, BSAP, might be a touchy subject because of the racial component of the Bush war, but would love an explanation on the short shorts

[@zhrman170]

Hey you can do research about the Rejimen Askar Melayu Diraja (RAMD). Appreciate it if you done that. 😁😁

[@user-ij7hf2uy2j]

The modern uniforms of the Italian Carbineiri were designed by Armani

[@unoqualunque993]

Saying the Italian carabinieri is a bizzarre uniform is just stupid. They are the best looking uniform in the world.
