Currently reading the "Exerzier-Reglement für Kavallerie". Would be an alternative for avoiding pirates...

And the uniform of the British cavalry looks really good...

It's Tintin Day again! ⚽✨

I know nothing about football but 'twas the season! And as a true Scotsman Haddock has been supporting every team which isn't England. Careful, Tintin!!! 😬

Uniform of the Jamaica Light Horse from the British Empire dated to 1830 on display at the National Army Museum in London, England

Militia and auxiliary units were raised to defend Jamaica and protect the interests of planters and merchants. Although Jamaica's mountainous interior limited the effectiveness of cavalry, the Light Horse helped suppress rebellions by enslaved people and others.

Did I buy this book from the National Maritime Museum just because James Clark Ross’s portrait was on the cover? Perhaps.

“At the turn of the nineteenth century, the British Empire is at the height of its ascendancy; Napoleonic France is struggling to maintain its position as a world power; and the incumbent American empire is quickly expanding its territory, while the Native peoples struggle to establish their own confederacy, their own independent nation.”

- James Laxer, Tecumseh & Brock: The War of 1812

Spurred by a someone, I bring you a collect of uniforms from the war of 1812. Quite the underrated, set in the lull of the Napoleonic Wars, the smaller and less professional set pieces don’t make it any less heroic.

One of my favourite quotes about the conflict comes from the book above; a man of Issac Brock’s is concerned for his life, telling him to remove his uniform to hide his rank, Issac Brock reproaches him and tells him he would never lead his men anywhere he wouldn’t personally go. He would die in battle; “As was his practice, he would lead from the front, attired in his scarlet uniform. A British quartermaster who had crossed the river with Brock urged him to make himself less of a target for the Americans. “If we lose you, we lose all,” he said to the general, pleading with Brock to let the troops by led by their own officers. “Many here follow me from a feeling of personal regard,” replied Brock. He thanked the quartermaster for his regard but said, “I will never ask them [his soldiers] to go where I do not lead them”

The siege of Detroit was fun too.

Been exploring the leather scene recently over the past year and one thing I always like having as a conversation starter is the fact I wear a replica WWI era imperial Russian cap as part of my outfit, many many guys have asked what kind of cap it is and I get to activate my autism powers it’s great

That’s amazing, but also, dying to know what leather scene outfit goes with a WWI imperial Russian cap
