Why is it that traditional naval uniforms pretty much all look exactly the same?

It dates back to, what, the 19th century?

Also you say that like all the uniforms of modern Europe didn't copy each others.

I think mid 19th c yeah, but I can't put a thumb down on it. I'd say 1840s maybe? Gradual slow changes.

Well of course. But this one stretches as far as Japan and south American countries too. And sure army uniforms can have lots in common, but navy ones are so similar especially I've noticed.

Emulating the Brits probably.

Please.


Its mainly a traditional dress. If they wanted practicality, they'd adopt a more uniformed clothing that all other service branch wear. They have all adapted to the current gen.
