    1:00 The foot coverings are called spats (in case you didn't know). They were really popular around 100 years ago to protect shoes from the weather and prevent mud from getting inside the shoes. The dress boot later replaced that function, but they're still used in the US Navy Ceremonial Guard.
    I only know about these because I sometimes have to wear them when I play traditional New Orleans jazz from the early 20th century. Some bandleaders prefer period dress for the gig.

    As Thai, I'd say that I'm kinda agree with you.
    Also, aside from Thai military uniform, (there're currently 15 color schemes), I'd say that Thailand have a uniform for pretty much everything and everyone.
    In here, students have to wear a uniforms from school to college, civil/government employee also got their own (which you could have easily mistaken from military uniforms because they looks very similar, they even wear an insignia to identify their level of professions similar to military ranks), teachers, politicians, taxi drivers, and even some business owners got their uniforms.
    I'd say that some of them are either outdated or uncomfortable. Some unit of Thai military which I used to be in still using Vietnam war era uniforms, college ceremonial uniforms also uncomfortable to wear, we're tropical country with sweltering heat yet we got to wear a thick high-collar uniforms with graduation gown over it in sunlight without AC, never been a big fans.

    Re: Hawaii… At different times in its history, from Captain Cook to becoming a US state in 1959, the islands were “claimed” by the British, French and US, among others. This is why there are influences such as the pith helmet in the uniform. Hawaiian kings and queens adopted the clothing of English monarchies. You can see that “colonial history” in the Hawaii state flag, which is influenced by the Union Jack, France’s flag and US flag. Oh, and, yes, I’ve had the pleasure of living in Hawaii. Thank you, Antonio, for all of the amazing content.

As it's a part of the moroccan traditional outfit, wearing the cape is showing how important / wealthy you are, but let's not forget that it important the reason it was made is the cover the body from cold and keep the person warm.

    4:00 - DRAGOON. A member of a mounted military force whose name is derived from a firearm called a 'dragon'.
    POINT OF INTEREST: Knowing the 'history' of how older military forces were named will help you understand how little was thought of the active soldier by the generals who deployed him.
    Check out the names of older fighting regiments particularly the British Army. You’ll discover they're predominately named after a particular weapon. Historically, warring nations' military advisors engaged on the battlefield,' by deploying specific weapons, in a specific location, to achieve a specific objective, all part of a larger strategy. Through the eyes of the generals , regular soldiers were not people, they were simply trained weapon carriers/operators. e.g. A general believing there was a benefit to be gained by relying more on bombs rather than infantry gunfire to push an enemy line back, would deploy either 'bombardiers' or 'grenadiers' not ‘musketeers’. Other military forces by name and associated 'weaponry' include...
    Fusiliers & fusil (musket),
    Lancers & lance (spear),
    Carabinier & carbine (musket),
    Hussar (cavalryman) & horse.
    Even in modern-era warfare, soldiers are looked upon as equipment. As early as the 1930s, G.I. is purported to mean General Issue (army equipment)..
    Unfortunately, until wars cease or robots replace soldiers, thousands of bodies will continue to be deployed to carry and operate weapons.

    As a Greek I dont like the uniform of our representative guards - the "Tsoliades". It is a great honour to be part of that force. They are the most respected guys in the military and with the civilian population. School kids want to become like them. But I dont know, I dont like the puffs on the shoes, I dont like the tights, I dont like the skirt, I dont like the hats...There is nothing on that uniform I like. I know its tradition, and meaning, but I wouldnt want to wear this.

    Hey, I recently found your channel and I think your content and guidance is brilliant. I'm in the Royal Navy and styling my hair with a hairdryer isn't very practical in the mornings because of limited living space and noise as I wouldn't want to wake any of my shipmates who may have been on a night watch. So I was wondering if you could possibly make a video about hairstyling for a military guy. Our rules on hair styles are much less restrictive that the 4 styles of our US cousins.

    Correction on that Mexico City colegio militar uniform. I grew up 1/2 a block away from the this "Mexican West Point",,, and I used to of becoming one of these officers.
    Well, the and the stripes and trim on the uniform are actually a burgundy color. I know because I used to go there and hang out with my friend whose dad was a captain at this institution.

    A sidenote : The ,Knechtharnische' / Landsknecht style footmens armour are today often no more traditional steel,but the current helmets are of plastic. May be ten to fifteen years ago in a german arms magazine ( i am german, Britta is my girlfriend) there was a small aricle, that Vatican ordered a larger number of short swords for Swiss Guard in Germany, but not from remaining sword companies ( WKC or Eickhorn), but from a german company, specialiced in producing things , necessary for Holy Mess in Catholic Church. This company only produced the ordered number of swords, nothing for museums or collectors.

    Greetings Antonio.
    I may suggest you take a look at the uniforms of the Danish Royal Life Guard.
    They have their standard uniform for actual combat usage and then their guard and parade uniform.
    Their everyday guard uniform is blue and black with a bearskin cap. Their gala uniform for special occasions like the Queen's birthday is a mix of red and black, with a bearskin cap.
    Best regards.

    @16:16 i guess monarchies in different cultures (particularly with different religions) are viewed differently.
    In Christian nations such as in Europe and the UK, the monarch is viewed as an agent of God so he is only a representative of God where as in buddhist asian countries such as Thailand or even Cambodia, the monarch is viewed AS God (or an incarnation of it), so asian countries with monarchs tend to be tolerant of their monarch having full autocratic power in the country which in western cultures would be viewed as backwards & feudal.

    I wouldn't call Mexico City hot. In the hottest couple of moths it could get up to 80 F. In the coldest months the lows are in the upper 40's. The average mean temperature is 60's and low 70's. With those temperatures I don't think those uniforms are a problem.
