Lamps in fashion history

Stripes are inserts of fabric stripes on the side seams, differing in color from the main tone. They appeared long ago, even before our era. Historians believe that it was the Scythian warriors who began to use leather stripes in the side seams of their pants as a distinctive sign. The stripes were for them a sign of belonging to the high class.

Then the Cossacks adopted the tradition. At the end of the 18th century, during the reform carried out by Field Marshal G.A. Potemkin, stripes adorned Russian uniforms. They have become additional paraphernalia for the military command post. Uniforms with stripes were used in peacetime. During hostilities, stripes were abolished, since they could unmask the commander during the battle.

The stripes were in the form of the Red and Soviet armies, they remain in military uniforms even now. Suvorovites and cadets are also dressed in uniforms with stripes.
