00:00 Camouflage Style Tips Introduction
It’s no secret to many clothing enthusiasts that many of the clothing articles that we wear have a military background or sporting background, such as the camo print, which we’re all familiar with.
More than a hundred years ago, the range of styles available to men was minimal. Military garments were more utilitarian versions of garments men already wore. In many cases, men could also purchase commissions in the military. So, your rank depended on your wealth and these officers wanted to wear garments befitting their status.
