The Hottest Uniform

[dr_mabeuse]

When I was a kid, I used to think mounties were hot. I thought they had the coolest uniforms.

German soldiers always had cool uniforms too. Germans always have known how to do militarism right.

Uniform fetishists: who has/had the coolest uniform? Cops, firemen, Marines, Navy, Royal Fusiliers, Hussars, Dragoons, take your pick.

Some cops look good in theirs too...

I don't know about hot, but the Rhode Island State Police have won the 'Best Dressed' police contest (yes there actually is such a thing) several times.

The pic isn't to good, but I can tell you, they look as intimidating as hell standing on the side of the highway reading your registration.

Supposed to be modled after the old SS uniforms.

I think that last part is more of an urban legend. The story I always heard was that the SS modeled after the Massachusetts State Police uniforms. The swasticka was also supposed to be some old native American symbol. Who knows?

I always wanted to be a dragoon. The long hair and the guns are cool, like the bad guy opposite Mel Gibson in The Patriot. Besides, I always like saying dragoon. "Dragooooooon."

1920's Gangster suits

I can actually pull that look off (quarter italian, quarter irish and large shoulders), sadly I don't have enough money to blow on a good pinstripe suit.


My additions to the list:

Gaiman-style Goth
Pixies (for short women)
Scotsmen (Come on, you all know you love kilts)
Greek Hoplites (for the helmets)
British longbowmen (I don't know why either, but I've always thought they looked kind of cool)

US Army Officer Dress Blues, but I say that because I'm partial to a certain someone who wears it.

Otherwise, I vote for the Marine Officers!

[LadyJeanne]

USN...you be the judge

They say clothes make the man, but the man makes the clothes, in this case, I think

 

[gauchecritic]

I have it on good authority that the best uniforms are nearly always Italian, at least until WWII.

Not a uniform guy myself I'm more concerned with how they're filled.

[McKenna]

Do birthday suits count?


Seriously though, Scottish kilts do it for me every time. Rowr.

 

[R. Richard]

I don't think much of uniforms. However, I would kill for a real Canadian Mountie hat!

Something like this, Gauche? - Perdita

I adore uniforms.

Any cop does the trick for me, even in those black t-shirts that some of them wear now.

WW1 or WW2 uniforms; especially flyboys in leather jackets.

Firefighters.

Knights in chain mail.

Native American men in buckskins.

Baseball players. A crisp white baseball uniform makes even the team's frumpiest player look good. I call it 'the Valenzuela factor'.

 

[Guest]

'the Valenzuela factor'

Brilliant.

[OhMissScarlett]

Thanks, Perdita!

I almost forgot Priests. Ok, this has something to do with 'The Thorn Birds' and it's only if they look like Richard Chamberlain. Or that one movie where Heath Ledger is a priest. I'm not even Catholic

 

[shereads]

Doctors. Definitely.



Physicians, that is. I'm envisioning a stranger in surgical scrubs with one of those masks that half-conceals his face, so that his eyes are all the more compelling. With his expression partially hidden, I can't be certain of his mood. Is he as stern and serious as he seems? And why do I have to get undressed, when I'm only here for a flu shot?

Are those green latex gloves really necessary?

And what's that shiny chrome thing?

-----------

Along with surgical scrubs, lab coats make me crazy. All that effort to appear impeccably clean has to be hiding dirty thoughts.

Bioengineering student ponders about plane tickets to Florida, remembers he can infernal gate, portals, gets trapped in sheread's locked cupboard.

Sigh.
