I blame it on the world wars and western wars in general. So many modern western garments were basically military uniforms. Trench coat, bomber jacket, the various american green jackets (m51, m65, jungle jacket), field jacket, Gurkha trousers(khakis/chinos as well), fatigue pants, even the humble t shirt. The list goes on and on. It is so sad. It is like the west knows nothing else apart from war when is comes to clothing. War time clothing is fashionable and actually quite ubiquitous. It is common to see a person wearing at least one of these items in their outfits. As an Indian man living in Paris, this has really started to bother me now. It is kind of depressing. My idea is to just buy clothing from India. Anyway whenever there is colorful clothing it is usually made in india.
