Pattern M1717 Service Uniform.png

The Pattern M1717 Service Uniform of the Benacian Union Defence Force (BUDF), developed in response to the 1716 Directive on the Regulation of Uniforms and introduced as indicated in 1717 AN, represents a significant evolution in the military uniform design of the force and, owing to its pronounced Babkhan influence, marks a departure from traditional Shirerithian designs seen in the Pattern M1702 Service Uniform and the Pattern M1703 Field Uniform. The development of the Pattern M1717 uniform reflects the changing needs of modern warfare and provides improved functionality and comfort for BUDF personnel.

The Pattern M1717 Service Uniform consists of a black fez for officers, a black cap or beret for other ranks, a field grey kurta tunic for officers and a khaki kurta tunic for other ranks, khaki jodphur trousers for officers and cream trousers for other ranks, and brown riding boots for officers and black ammunition boots for other ranks. These items are designed to be worn together as a complete uniform, providing a uniform and cohesive appearance for BUDF personnel.

One of the key features of the Pattern M1717 Service Uniform is its versatility. The uniform is suitable for both ceremonial and field duties, providing a professional appearance while also being practical and comfortable in a wide range of environments. The tunic, trousers and footwear are all designed with the needs of BUDF personnel in mind, with materials chosen for their durability, breathability, and comfort. The black fez and black cap or beret provide a distinctive head covering that protects the wearer from the elements while also providing a recognizable symbol of the BUDF.

The development of the Pattern M1717 Service Uniform also took into account the changing nature of modern warfare. The uniform is designed to be worn with body armour and other protective gear, providing a comfortable and functional uniform that can be worn in a wide range of operational environments. The uniform is also designed with the latest materials and manufacturing techniques, ensuring that it is durable and long-lasting, and that it provides the best possible protection for BUDF personnel.

The uniforms are manufactured by a variety of liveried textile companies and tailors that received their charters from the Guild of Artificers and the Guild of Factors. Indeed it is the ability of the Guilds of Benacia to coordinate vast swathes of the continental economy which allowed for the uniform to be designed and put into production on a vast scale after two years of development, commencing in 1715 AN.
