View source for Imperial Constancian Armed Forces Uniform Patterns Regulation of 1731

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''', introduced in the third month of the year, replaced the uniforms mandated under the [[Pattern M1698 Field Uniform|Pattern M1698]]. Issued under the authority of the [[Autokrator of Constancia]], the regulations codified attire for the Imperial General Staff, Imperial Guard, and the service branches of the [[Imperial Constancian Armed Forces]].


==Pattern M1731==
The Pattern M1731 regulations reintroduced differentiation and formality in uniforms for different branches, ranks, and occasions. 

Importantly it codified distinct service dress uniforms for officers and other ranks in the army, navy, and air force, allowing for greater sartorial distinction.

In so doing it brought back more ornate court and ceremonial uniforms drawing on Constancian and Neo-Babkhan aesthetic traditions for the Imperial General Staff and Imperial Guard.

An improved field uniform design introduced, maintaining the use of khaki as a default colour scheme but added trim and piping colour distinctions based on branch and rank. The M1731 field uniform also addressed the deficiencies of material and production which had bedeviled the M1698.

The comprehensive regulations reflected the Imperial leadership's desire to project a more professional, respectable, and sophisticated military image in peacetime or ceremonial contexts, while still maintaining standardised utility in combat uniforms.
