Galliffet Trousers
Galliffet or gallifet (russian: галифе, galife) were a style of trousers in military uniform of the Soviet Army. They were similar to riding breeches, fit for jackboots. Russian dictionaries define "galife" as pants fitting the knees and below, to easily fit the ''sapogi'' (Russian jackboots), and expanding from above the knees. They were named after French general Gaston Alexandre Auguste, Marquis de Galliffet.

Military Uniform
A military uniform is a standardised dress worn by members of the armed forces and paramilitaries of various nations. Military dress and styles have gone through significant changes over the centuries, from colourful and elaborate, ornamented clothing until the 19th century, to utilitarian camouflage uniforms for field and battle purposes from World War I (1914–1918) on. Military uniforms in the form of standardised and distinctive dress, intended for identification and display, are typically a sign of organised military forces equipped by a central authority. Military uniforms differ not only according to military units but tend to also be offered in different levels of formality in accordance with Western dress codes: full dress uniform for formal wear, mess dress uniform for semi-formal wear, service dress uniform for informal wear, and combat uniform (also called "battle/field dress") which would equal casual wear. Sometimes added to the casual wear category is physical t ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Riding Breeches
Breeches ( ) are an article of clothing covering the body from the waist down, with separate coverings for each leg, usually stopping just below the knee, though in some cases reaching to the ankles. Formerly a standard item of Western men's clothing, they had fallen out of use by the mid-19th century in favour of trousers. Modern athletic garments used for English riding and fencing, although called ''breeches'' or ''britches'', differ from breeches. Etymology ''Breeches'' is a double plural known since c. 1205, from Old English , the plural of "garment for the legs and trunk", from the Indo-European root *bhrg- "break", here apparently used in the sense "divide", "separate", as in Scottish Gaelic briogais ("trousers"), in Breton bragoù ("pants"), in Irish bríste ("trousers") and brycan/brogau in Welsh. Cognate with the Proto-Germanic word ''*brōk-'', plural ''*brōkiz'', itself most likely from the Proto-Indo-European root; whence also the Old Norse word , which shows up ...

Gaston Alexandre Auguste, Marquis De Galliffet
Gaston Alexandre Auguste, Marquis de Galliffet, Prince de Martigues (Paris, 23 January 1830 – 8 July 1909), was a French general, best known for having taken part in the repression of the 1871 Paris Commune. He was Minister of War in Waldeck-Rousseau's cabinet at the turn of the century, which caused a controversy in the socialist movement, since independent socialist Alexandre Millerand also took part in the same government, and was thus side by side with the ''Fusilleur de la Commune'' (the "Commune's executioner"). Military interventions and Minister of War Gaston Galliffet entered the army in 1848 and was commissioned as a sub-lieutenant in 1853.

Uniforms Of The Russian Armed Forces
The extensive system of uniforms of the Russian Armed Forces was inherited from the Soviet Armed Forces and modified across the years. Traditionally, the military uniforms of the Russian Armed Forces have been subdivided into parade, service dress, and field uniform roles, each with summer and winter variations, largely based on rank, season, and gender differences. Governance The specific items, rules, regulations, and duties of the uniforms which are used in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are determined by Ministry of Defence and ultimately by the Minister of Defence. The current effective order which governs this is: * Order of the RF Ministry of Defence No. 525 of October 9, 2020 Which replaced the following previous orders (in effect from 2015 to 2020): * Order of the RF Ministry of Defence No. 300 of June 22, 2015 (for military personnel) * Order of the RF Ministry of Defence No. 340 of June 27, 2019 (for military personnel of the Navy) * Order of t ...
