Always loved the outfits.
>>18065009These are Musketeers of the guard, they were a very small group within the population of France, perhaps less than 1%.
I'll never be able to comprehend how we went from the left to the right in just one generation.
>>18065033Okay.And?
>>18065045The outfit is the uniform of the guard. Most of the French population would not have worn those outfits.
>>18065040Brits exported their soulless bourgeois fashion along with the industrial revolution
>>18065050And what does that have to do with OP's 'loving the outfits'?
>>18065052sounds like spicjeet cope
>>18065054He may be disappointed to know that most people did not wear such outfits.
>>18065069Actually I already knew that. Still doesn't mean the outfits aren't cool.Most people back then also weren't high ranking military officers but those uniforms are also cool.
>>18065069>nooooo! You can’t think like this thing! It was rare! You have to look at history and like what the peasant majority were wearing!Oh shut the fuck up.>noooo! You can’t study what the king was doing! You need to spend 20 years looking at invoices and banking receipts to see that there was a 2% increase in the price of corn between the years 1600 and 1650. THAT is history.
>>18065052>Brits expor-ACK!Kys you historically illiterate retard. Lafayette was following "le democratic fashion leveling" of the mutts, not the Brits you retarded chimp. j*ffersonian--*publicans are the real culprits
>>18065108Nice coat.
>>18065110>no ballooned sleeves It's fucking trash is what it is
>>18065117That is also a nice coat.
>>18065009These books are good, I just ordered some of the ones on early American forts
>>18065069...And?
>>18065081>You need to spend 20 years looking at invoices and banking receipts to see that there was a 2% increase in the price of corn between the years 1600 and 1650. THAT is history.Unironically true
>>18065009Good taste Anon.
>>18065033>>18065050>Man, I sure love these Victorian ballgowns.>Umm, most people weren't actually noble aristocrats, not everyone was walking around dressed like that. Most of them were actually farmers.WE KNOW.

>>18065108You don't realize that the US followed British fashion, building and art trends up until the 1860s or so
>>18065040It's mostly the fault of Beau Brummell. He was a 19th century gentleman was a close friend of the Prince of Wales from their time in the army together, but he couldn't afford the elaborately embroidered styles of earlier generations, so he basically gaslighted the British aristocracy into thinking that his plain suits were actually a new fashion rather than just an economical measure, and because the Prince was taken in by this ruse, the style quickly spread throughout the aristocracy.In short, everything bad that's happened to men's style over the last two centuries is basically the result of a single well-placed an duplicitous social climber.
>Men used to dress like homos
>>18065052Those military uniforms were the fashion of the upper class in the 1700s and 1800s.
>>18066038still do
>>18065009How much do you think they got paid
>>18066824Good question and I found no concrete answer. The google AI overview answers are equally unclear and the sources listed there also don't mention clear wages.
>>18066022>the result of a single well-placed an duplicitous social climber.Every fucking timeIf I had a one-way trip with a time machine I would use it to pistol whip him. I'm sure it would only delay the inevitable but just one more decade of high-fashion would make it worth it>>18066013>you don't realizeESLfag alert Your post is also irrelevant. I don't give a shit about what they were doing in 1860 you tard
>>18065801It's sad. The siege of Maastricht was a perfect demonstration of Vauban's tactics, allowing him to capture the place in just few days with minimal losses. But amongst those losses lied captain d'Artagnan...
>>18067166I'm sure they were paid well, right? Protecting the King and all.
>>18065045Ignore him, he's a redditor. His job is to demoralize. Everytime you say you like something he will reply;>uhmm akshually it wasn't that cool irl, everything was gay and lame. Now embrace globohomo ok <3They all sound the same, it's like a hivemind
>>18065815Very CoolBut doesn't look comfy at all

>>18067734There is a small piece of text on german Wikipedia that states that the musketeers of the cardinal guard recieved better pay but that the status/prestige was higher for those serving in the guard company of the king.>>18067786Comfy in which way? I like those shoulder ribbons.

>>18067915>There is a small piece of text on german Wikipedia that states that the musketeers of the cardinal guard recieved better pay but that the status/prestige was higher for those serving in the guard company of the kingI'm sure it was very good clout. Plus you got a bitchin uniform.
>>18067939They had to buy their uniforms and equipment with their wage. So financial strain was apparently quite common.

>>18065009Today I learned they weren't using rapiers that much.
>>18068493Well, they are called MUSKETeers after all.

>>18065052Wearing trousers was specifically a French revolutionary innovation
>>18066013The US had always had a more "humble" fashion than the UK, it's the reason why US Judges only wear black gowns while Commonwealth judges retained their wigs and flashier red gowns (e.g. Canada's Supreme Court)
>>18069352Most people didn’t wear this.
>>18069352Showing off your toned calves in garter-belted stockings and knee-high boots is the most masculine display of physicality there is and I'm tired of pretending otherwise
honestly, as a french protestant, how do you defeat this?
>>18070027By shitting and pissing my pants
>>18069352Take off those stockings you little SLUT..
>>18065009How come they're the only ones people remember
>>18069070Persians came up with trousers. Greeks thought it was gay.
>>18067928>/his/ starts wearing pricey real clothing>/fa/ gets cheap plastick clothes from china>Normies somehow make it even worseMaybe we can ease people into such fashion through plain and colourful clothing like viking age clothing.
>>18070027It's interesting to see how much the persecution of the Huguenots influenced the creation of absolutist France.
>>18071058Because the french Musketeers of the Guard feature heavily in a series of french adventure novels written in the middle of the 19th century, which found international success.
>>18070027You flee to Prussia and plot your revenge there.
>>18072121The Huguenots didn't plot revenge in Prussia. They integrated reasonably well, were economically succesful and, important regarding military history, often were commanders of prussian free battalions during the Seven Years War.
