Original Uniforms in Wear

Amazing photos....these re enactments are held in China?? Re ...body types yes, only in Asia could we find people who could wear these uniforms. The vast majority of North Americans or Europeans could never wear these today. To my eyes, it is just stunning to see these actually being worn as they were during the 1890's. A huge thank you for posting these ! (y)
Brian,
It's the Military Odyssey held in August each year in the UK. We also recreate imperial Chinese army impressions besides imperial German, but only German things I can make sure we use original. :D
 
Thanks Jv. I as well as others, I am certain would love to see some pictures of the Chinese Army uniforms being worn.
 
Wow - this is an awesome thread, and some outstanding uniforms and images! Thanks so much for sharing.
 
My thanks Jv for posting these additional photos on the Chinese uniforms. Excellent!

Another one to share but not from the imperial period. 100% original including footwear.
Excellent photo !
I started out collecting German WWII Army
Over the years I have forgotten a lot
Please tell me about the Mt. Troop officer
I remember Mt troops to be light green piping
this officer has yellow piping
Is he Mt. troop signal ?
Thanks
Steve

Steve,
Yes, these garments all belonged to an Oberleutnant from Gebirgs-Nachrichten-Abteilung; so they have lemon yellow piping. They are in my friend's collection.
