So as we should all know, almost all of our clothes have origins in the military.

Do you think the modern military uniforms will ever reach mainstream popularity? Or at least specific pieces?

>> No.7886379

I've been meaning to make a military thread as well. What's the name of the type of shirts they wear? Was thinking of getting one in a solid color. I mainly like the shape and fit. Loose, yet fitted. Also doesn't split apart where the buttons are. The collars are nice too. Was going to wear it like an alternative to a weekend flannel.

They're made to fit everyone, so they don't fit anyone, and they have those massive hideous velcro patches on the shoulders. Some soldiers get flat velcro panels the same colour as the uniform and just sew their patches on for a neater look.

Hideous velcro everywhere, the jackets too short, it has a zipper instead of buttons combined with a awful looking mandarin collar, and the pockets look stupid.

Flecktarn is probably the most common civ wearing military, followed by m65s.

Designs of ACU look like ass, maybe some digital or mosaic style jacket could work. I'd cop a jacket with design pic related. Its not real camo granted, but it looks good.

From what I've heard the Marines is just a club for manchildren and sociopaths with overinflated egos. You give up the perks of all the other branches in exchange for the pride that comes with calling yourself a marine.
