Turn military uniforms into Shia-core.

Alternatively the Fourth Reich rises and Hugo Boss designs their uniforms.

start with a violent nationalist revolution with people wearing normal clothes unified under one colour like royal blue or orange
and then supply them with dark blue or desaturated green ponchos so you can recognize them when they start spilling out to other cities and militarizing the cause

>>10639518
taper the pants like the nazis so they dont look so dumb tucked into the boots

Ur fucking dumb the uniforms are fine

this is where you draw the line. function before fashion

>>10639622
they dont look functional. i seriously doubt those sideways breast pockets get a lot of use.

>>10639622
and what is up with the collar on the guy on the right? is he at the barber about to get a haircut?

>>10639622
as long as the camo is there and nothing is lose
it really doesn't matter

they could do to taper pants and do something with the belt and sleeves
you know
maybe make it a bit more like a uniform
rather than just a ugly button up camo shirt and some gap camo cargo pants
some corporation is making a killing supplying that basic shit

>>10639518
More sizing options. Milsurp is usually too wide - it looks like shit, but people of all sizes and shapes can wear it.

If you introduced more sizing options, for fatties, skinnies, lankies, shorties, build guys etc. it would look more tailored.

It appeas special forces usually have more expensive and better fitting uniforms.

>>10639591
B-but tapered pants are g-gay /󾓦

Go back to the roots. You can still keep the camo but just make the uniform a closer fit so it's not so cumbersome.

>>10639724
Like this.

>>10639740
This lad looks hardcore as fuck

they need a much more of a modern look.
2004 doesn't last forever

>>10639518
be more like the Carabinieri

Was looking on the BBC and it seems like the Belgian police and soldiers look pretty good, not that I'm an expert.

>>10639633

>>10640266
Belgian jigsaw is GOAT camo, not really sure if it's effay though. The most effay camo imo is Alpenflage, (at least out of shit that isn't dark)

Generally I see people wearing retarded super dark camo with black, and it looks okay even if the camo is a shit pattern. I just bought some Swedish M90 and I'm trying to work it into a fit.

Incidently, what does /fa/ think about camo pants? Ever acceptable? I have some neat ones I would like to wear but I have no idea how to work them into a fit.

>>10639518
wear not baggy ass ones

>>10639518

m90 is too "real" imo. Like, the material is modern, the camo is "good" etc... A lot of the time, you look super autistic if you wear genuine tactical stuff in public.

That's why I like the Belgian jigsaw camo, it's kind of bizarre, and r8 vintage. Saw some guy managed to pull m90 pants, but they were a civilian use unofficial brown autumn version, which I think is easier to pull than tactical forest green.

>>10639630

They do, it was one of the best improvements. Obviously you never served, but imagine wearing body armor over the uniform that opens in the middle, and trying to open a vertical pocket. Doesn't work well at all.

>>10639518

>>10641528

You seem somewhat knowledgable, so what would you recommend with Belgian Jigsaw pants? I got some pretty cheap, and they look dope but I can't seem to fit them in.

To terrify the fuck out of you

>>10640467
Alpenflage is shit, East German Strichmuster is the most effay.

>>10641697
to protect their identity

>>10641745
Strichtarn is pretty dope, but it's no Alpenflage.

>>10641697
to obscure the face. the human body will always look for the shape of a face. a net will obscure the shape of a face, will camouflage you and can be used for survival purposes as well.

Looks also like a protection against insects.

The thing is in knee pads. Right-leg knee pad is the new black

their uniforms were designed by hugo boss

>>10641715
They're gaiters, google them. Although if you wear them you will probably look like a reenactor.

I think pants should have more tapered fit. leg room where you need it and taper below the knee to keep squirrels, sticks and shit from entering your pants. The pants rise should also be generally a bit higher, somewhere around the navel. belt could be replaced with wide-enough velcro fastening or similar so that body armor doesn't rub around creating huge rashes.
For the jacket i'd just go for the Gorka-4 anorak version. that shit's pretty /fa/. Maybe detach the hood from the collar so you'd get functional mock neck when the hood's down as well.

US Army - the figting pyjamas

They're not effective. That's why they will be replaced. With this.

That should do the trick.

>>10641697
so you can throw it and bind the enemy in a net during close quarters combat

>>10645436
remplaced by niggers?

Face-masks would be great.

>>10642811
Those pants are pretty dope. Any info on the model?

>>10645737
why would you want a pair of cargos that can fit an ipad

>>10641697
for fishing purposes ofc
they're the dutch after all

UCP was never tested. OCP was recently adopted, which is essentially a slightly altered Multicam.

>>10646631
>UCP was chosen without ever being tested despite multicam existing at the time

Has the military ever done something as retarded?

>>10642639
rick boots on the left

>>10641697
They're a frog team.

It helps with two things.
1. Camo when you poke your head above the water. Also minimizes ripples.
2. Water out of your eyes when you get out.


Bonus 3. spooky ghost.

Don't know if this is soley for parade purposes or what, but Mexico's action figure army is p. tight desu

>>10639518
Return jagboots.

Also get rid of all those retarded and unneeded pockets and velcro shit. They have been prooved time and time again to be ineffective and shitty.
Get rid of the battle shirt and go back to a vest.

>>10642811
What army is this?

>>10647658
Russian, to be exact the Army/Security forces of the Chechen Republic

there was post here before of i think soviet soldiers with big overcoats on in a winter scene they were fa as fuck

>>10645782
For.. purposes...
I don't know man they look good

if you're in the army and one of your top priorities is making your uniform look nice you're in the wrong place.. jesus christ

>>10647934
In Garrison uniforms looking presentable is a top priority

>>10648073
looking presentable not looking "effay"

>>10648073
just like how they have to make their beds, not decorate them with an assortment of pillows and throws

>>10645412
>taper below the knee to keep squirrels, sticks and shit from entering your pants

This is what blousing is for.

>>10647934
hardly. everyone has different priorities. if you can still function well enough in combat, who the fuck cares what else you are interested in.

why are squaddies always such arseholes?

Easy, just have everyone wear their Service Uniforms (or whatever your equivalent is) in garrison.

>>10648293
I'm not a squaddie, it's just gay to want an "effay uniform", like that's actually important when you're in the army

>>10648447

Taken from Chapter 3 of AR 670-1, which outlines standards of dress and appearance for the US Army:

"3-1 b. A vital ingredient of the Army’s strength and military effectiveness is the pride and self discipline that American
Soldiers bring to their Service through a conservative military image. It is the responsibility of commanders to ensure
that military personnel under their command present a neat and soldierly appearance."

I'd say that appearance is at least a little important. Even if infantry or front line soldiers aren't holding fashion-forward dress as a priority, looking like a dignified organization has always been important to the branch as a whole. I think a lot of confusion in this thread stems from people confusing the use of dress or parades uniforms with combat ready or utilitarian ones.

>>10648438
>obviously doesn't know how uncomfortable, restricting, inconvenient, and hassle that would be
Also all the more fucking uniform inspections to be had

>>10645505
Have you ever had to run around in a gas mask ? Or with restricted breathing? Fuck that. What need would face masks serve? Hiding identity?face paint or no one cares bout that. No one except huge homos are gonna do it unless it serves a really good purpose and isn't too inconvenient

>>10648493
Oh I know all too well. But nobody gives a fuck about you look in combat, so we can ignore that part. If you really want to be stylish in garrison you can wear stuff that is traditional and fitted. I wouldn't support it, because I think it's a bad idea, but it's a much better idea that trying to shoehorn combat uniforms into being /fa/.

>>10648266
Blousing isn't that effective if you really have to you know, crawl in a forest. I'd rather have my pants tucked in my boots or fastened over them.

>>10648485
But notice the emphasis on "neat and soldierly"-ness, rather than a focus on some sort of fashion, it's not like they look undignified in their uniform as it is

>>10648438
>>10648504

A combat engineer squad, dressed in their formal garb, ascend on a rugged mountain path somewhere in Iraq. Tasked with clearing the trail of obstructions to allow troop and vehicle movement, the team of 7 wades through thorny weeds and climbs over rocks in the path. Their once glossy poromeric dress shoes are buffeted by the sand and grit, and after walking and hiking for miles every soldier in the squad has blisters on their heels. Working in these 100+ degree conditions has built an enormous sweat, making their largely polyester fitted uniforms stick to their bodies, further restricting their movements.
As the exhausted squad prepares to take a break from their 8 hour excursion, a relatively small group of ISIS fighters surrounds them from the mountains above, having spotted the soldiers adorned in blue amidst a largely desert environment.
Their surroundings are too cramped for air support, and the road conditions to unstable for prompt road support, so the well-dressed and fashionable squad is left to deal with the threat themselves.
The men awkwardly fumble with their rifles, their soaking wet GI dress gloves slipping on their metal carbines. The tips of their gloves and uniform sleeves get caught in breeches and magazine feeds. The Jihadists easily overrun the unarmored soldiers, picking off many from a distance with small arms fire. The staff sergeant is kidnapped and transported to the same secluded stretch of desert where the most widely viewed execution videos were shot. He is beheaded in his dress uniform. Army elites and /fa/ users applaud the new uniform policy. Fashion boards incessantly post "w2c" threads using screencaps of the ISIS video as the thumbnail, and "name a better looking uniform" topics clutter the front pages.
Allied fatalities on the overseas front rise 100%, prompting the most right-winged and war hungry republicans to demand a "no oxfords on the ground" policy.

>>10649181
Service uniforms are worn for social or official events, or in office environments. Also used when uniformity is required. I live in California, where there is a very active military presence and a lot of bases for Coast Guard, Marines, Army, Airforce, and Navy. You know what a majority of these service members wear around town and on base? Not their service uniforms. Wearing a uniform out of context to look "effay" is retarded.

Op meant uniforms without any of this gear. Just the fatigues, trousers, boots and maybe cover.
Throwing a combat vest, a helmet and a rifle on can make anything look cool, but without them, the US army uniform looks tacky.
