Well, mebbe so, mebbe no. Dang it, I find BDU's with boots perfectly comfortable! There was, as well, the Eisenhower jacket for those old enough to remember it. Other than that military chic has pretty much spared the haute fashion scene around here.

Now, you want military fashion, check out Hugo Boss, who designed the Nazi breeches, boots, and trenchcoats that are so famously associated with the San Francisco gay scene. SS, Gestapo, Wehrmacht, you name it, Hugo had it covered (so to speak).

The ancient Greek gods used to fight with edged weapons perfectly nekkid, which does not strike most mortals as a particularly sound idea unless you intend to leave yer danglers as gooey mush on the well-trampled battlefield. Makes for great pottery but they had neither blood transfusions nor anaesthetics back in The Day, so I think I'll pass, thanks. But speaking of the San Francisco gay scene...

Except for a coat of blue pigment so did the Celts. To some extent the Scots continued that tradition with the answer to the question of "What's under" their kilts. And if the Olympic Games returned to its roots, well let's just say womens' gymnastics would have a much bigger audience.
