Talk:Full dress uniform

message: this article could do with some more illustrations, if anyone has any
Illustrations would be nice, or photos. Also, how about some info on the Air Force service dress??
This article could do with some more information about dress uniforms outside the U.S. Isnt there a large variety of them in Europe? I know various regiments in Britain have fairly fancy ones, some with kilts even. 67.182.109.94 16:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Were the military uniforms in the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid authentic representations of the outfits worn by the Bolivian Army?   216.99.219.135 (talk) 06:28, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Do all variants of ther U.S. "dress blues" pertain to the dress code "full dress", thus full dress uniform? Are there no ones that in in fact more ressemble service dress uniforms? If so, should that be made clearer or even some contents moved to service dress uniform? PPEMES (talk) 14:03, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The US Army dress blues should be in service dress (they're described as service uniforms in Army regs). That said, as far as I'm aware, the US Army did have full-dress uniform, but that was all pre-World War I (plus present select units here and there, so US Army content should be on that). So I'd support moving the Army and USAF blue dress content to the service dress article (also during the move the US Army part should probably be updated, cause their service uniforms are changing to Army greens in the next year). But the US Navy do have a ceremonial full dress (which includes a variant of dress blues). Leventio (talk) 19:16, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:   Thanks for the feedback! Would you mind going ahead and update this article acordingly? Saving for the reservations you made, as well as at least the U.S. honour guards do which indeed seem to wear full dress uniforms, if those were not included in your reservations?

replies: text: So I updated the content to reflect the service's full dress/ceremonial uniforms. That said, I didn't move the service uniform content to the service uniform article, as it seemed to be more of a general article, with lists to more specific national articles. That said, I have the removed service dress content saved so if you wanted it to be moved to that article, I can do that. Leventio (talk) 09:22, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you! As for service dress uniform, why don't you proceed with including said contents there despite no other country details are listed yet per WP:NOTFINISHED? While you're at it, you may as well want to evaluate doing the same thing with the Israel section in this article? PPEMES (talk) 11:05, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Alrighty then. I added the service uniform content into that article. With regards to Israel, most of the Israeli content appears to be "service dress," but there is some bits there that that is probably more relevant here (they do have a "dress uniform" thats based off the service dress). That said, I can't find a reliable English source describing either uniforms (I'd imagine that reliable sources would be in Hebrew), so to be honest, I really can't do that move with confidence that I'm moving the right content.

replies: text:  I moved it. Later additions here can be done when available sources backing full dress uniform equivalence surface. PPEMES (talk) 21:10, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sounds good to me. Leventio (talk) 01:42, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

text:  Just a heads up, but I pilfered through the Israeli content, and I moved around the relevant content to their articles. Leventio (talk) 06:05, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Varying examples of U.S. "dress blues"? 

message: I have made a few amendments to the lede section of this article, where there appears to be some confusion between full dress and mess dress. The former generally refers to parade ground or other ceremonial attire and is quite distinct from the evening or mess dress worn for dinners, weddings, dances etc. Accordingly bow ties, dress shirts etc, while often part of the uniform for social occasions, would not be seen as part of full dress as defined in most modern armies and illustrated in this article.

thread_title:  Full dress and mess dress uniforms 

message: That section so far, only covers Number 1 Full Dress worn by the band. It would be helpful if the first line made it clear that the rest of the RM has Number 1A Regimental Blues Dress - 'Blues'. The text about Full dress could then be a separate paragraph in that section. --Dreddmoto (talk) 18:06, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
