Some of you may remember British uniform aficionado and illustrator David Bell-Hartley (AKA General Vyse) from a previous post.

Well this man has some seriously nice photos of a variety of vintage uniforms, so the more the merrier!

Star Trek Generations: Awful movie, awesome shot of Captain Picard and Commander Riker wearing 19th century naval uniforms.

I’ve been keeping my nose out of the Royal Wedding hubbub, except this headline (naturally) grabbed my eye. Turns out that Prince William blew a lot of people out of the water by choosing to wear the scarlet uniform of the Irish Guard- a U.K. unit stationed in Afghanistan at the moment- as a tribute to his countrymen (and comrades, as he is an honorary Colonel) who have served and fallen.

It was somewhat surprising and very touching to me.

A modern man dressed in the uniform of a Moroccan goumier, just one group that were active and courageous participants in the Free French Army- who don’t get NEARLY enough credit for doing their part.

You all knew this was coming sooner or later. Sean Bean in Sharpe’s, a historical television program about the exploits and adventures of the 95th Regiment of Riflemen- of course clad in their iconic green and black uniform…

A collection of portraits of (from top L-R to bottom L-R) an 1890s Berkshire uniform, a Lord Lieutenant’s uniform, A Royal Horse Uniform, and a WWI-era dress uniform.

General Vyse (AKA David Bell-Hartley) is a fellow from the UK who collects old uniforms and militaria (and boy, does he cut a nice figure). He’s also an illustrator- so check out his work (and more of his impressive collection).
