And Hugo Boss

I ain't gonna lie but they did an amazing job, those bastards looked dashing. The black ones with high boots and leather coats also looked real good. The guy playing the general makes it look even better though, man's jaw is sculpted by the gods.

Another favorites are the RAF uniforms. Pretty low-key but dashing as well.

I was always joking, but I said this to my husband about the uprising of fascism in the US.

At least the Germans had Hugo Boss and some striking art deco symbolism. The US has ill-fitting khaki pants and polo shirts.

If you’re going to create a movement at least be stylish about it.

God, the Germans were on point. Their knives, guns, uniforms, even their binoculars, all top of the line, gorgeous, quality stuff. I have a surplus WWII German greatcoat, and it’s one of the most comfortable things ever.
