In this particular context, "republican guard" would be similar to its french namesake that is, a ceremonial and bodyguard unit for the government.
Regular army units would have the same uniform but in green (winter) or beige (summer).

- I quite like this! It has a certain French flair and yet is quite individual. Zahir 19:00, 26 Sep 2005 (PDT)
It's not very utilitarian, I must say. Is that a dress uniform? If it's not a dress uniform...then? But I must say, I like it very, very much, and I thank you for coming up with it! :) You've labelled it a Duty uniform. I'm guessing that the battle uniform is different?
Again, I like it very, very much! BoArthur 19:31, 26 Sep 2005 (PDT)
- Term for the various level of dress are quite different from one country to the next so I tried to make it descriptive.
- The way I envisonned it, this would be the type of uniform that is between a parade dress and combat dress. Sort of thing you would wear going to the office, adressing a panel, meeting officials in a less then formal athmosphere, etc... For parade, they would probably add accessories like white belt (with gun or sword) & gloves, an aiguillette (that braided-cord thing going around the shoulder), etc...
- By the way, Is the emblem ok ? You mentioned a while back thinking about designing a national emblem but I couldn't find it. --Marc Pasquin 19:46, 26 Sep 2005 (PDT)
- For what it is worth, what you're describing is what I would call Work Dress. Zahir 19:59, 26 Sep 2005 (PDT)
I like the nomenclature, at least for Louisianne. And I like the emblem; the two portions of the flag are perfect. :)
Nomenclature
Hows this, for the next pages I will publish from the "Album des uniformes et insignes" (the famous IB uniforms recognissance book), I'll use the following terms:
- Parade - spiffy uniforms to impress the masses
- Duty - for work that shouldn't (usualy) make you dirty (clerk)
- Labour - for work that more then certainly makes you dirty (mechanic)
- Combat - good clothes to shoot and die in.
Addition ? --Marc Pasquin 20:57, 26 Sep 2005 (PDT)
- I like it. The only addition I'd (maybe ) make would be Flight Suit. Zahir 21:00, 26 Sep 2005 (PDT)
True....I can't really think of anything else you'd want to add...but I'll think about it to see if there's anything else that I would add.
