and shirt
Made for the
troops of the little Spanish tyrant (but
never worn), this outfit is so elaborately
designed, it was clearly ordered by a
person who controlled the national treasury.
Its dashing, detailed styling and sturdy
drill cloth make it one of the few worthwhile
vestiges of an otherwise deplorable regime#
