I have quite a bit of a very unique favourite clothes collection, with alot of it I use to make makeshift uniforms so that I can dress as a train engineer, train conductor, bus driver, trucker, Swiss-like cop uniform (with no markings of course, just the shirt, pants and beret), and some others I use to dress like a soldier, farmboy, hunter, mechanic, or even an old-school Soviet man (I sooo want that, like the way the soviet civilians and leaders would dress - greatcoat/trench, ushanka/fedora, and old suit clothes). I may also plan to make an outfit similar to the ones that the Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian partisans (Forest Brothers) wore. I'll list what my various unforms are made of, since my clothes can be used interchangibly to make any given uniform:

TRAIN ENGINEMAN:
Ontario Northland/any other railway's striped engineman's hat
Light-blue Air Force-surplus dress shirt
Navy-blue workpants
Navy-blue military-surplus work jacket/combat shirt whatchmacallit (optional)
Navy-blue uniform wool sweater
Reflective orange vest (optional)
Reflective orange winter jacket (optional)
Reflective orange T-shirt (summer optional)
May plan on getting an old-fashioned pocket watch that works and is similar to the railway's watch for all my public transport outfits
May also plan on getting orange reflective pants for winter, with the same striping as my jacket
Orange reflective rain suit (optional for rain)

TRAIN ENGINEMAN STEAM ERA:
Ontario Northland/any railway strpied engineman's hat (planning on getting an SNCF-style engineman's cap from the steam era)
Black work pants
Black work shirt
Black work jacket (optional, planning on finding one)
Work rag/bandana that's large enough to wrap around my neck and looks the part
Safety goggles (will find those eventually)
Railway-style pocket watch (see Engineman nr. 1)
MY outfit is based off French SNCF steam uniform from the steam-era. *worries about being trolled over the ASC issues even though as an autie he strongly condemns it* For those who want to know, my outfit is inspired by the 1964 Burt Lancaster film "The Train", specifcally the running crew's outfits.

CONDUCTOR:
1970s-vintage Canadian National Railways conductor's cap
Black work pants
White dress shirt
Black suit jacket (optional)
Pocket watch (see engineman 1)
More standard conductor's gear if I find any (briefcase for instruments - would also store my cameras, along with ticket punch, and whistle)

BUS DRIVER:
Peak-cap like the old-fashioned bus drivers would wear
Light-blue Air Force surplus dress shirt
Navy-blue work pants
Navy-blue uniform sweater
Navy-blue work-jacket (plan to replace with proper blazer)
Hi-vis Yellow reflective vest with silver tape (transit drivers in my city wear these)
Hi-vis Yellow T-shirt (optional)

PLANNED EQUIPMENT FOR BUS DRIVER UNIFORM:
Pocket watch
Ticket punch
Hi-vis Yellow reflective winter jacket with silver tape
Standard bag for carrying typical bus driver's instruments (would also store my cameras)
Intercity Coach driver's equipment so that I can have an intercity driver's outfit that I can interchange with my current outfit

TRUCK DRIVER:
Work pants of any in my collection
Yellow or orange reflective t-shirt or vest,
Trucker's ballcap with the kinds of businesses a trucker would support
Checkered farmer's jacket or Camouflage military surplus jacket (some Russian truckers wear these)

SOLDIER:
Canadian Battle Dress (1960s-2000s) BDU pants
Army surplus, light green dress shirt
Canadian Battle Dress Combat Jacket
Army Green beret or cap
Russian-style grey wool ushanka/Military-surplus green toque (depending on which mode I'm in)
Canadian Battle Dress winter parka (made 1980)
Canadian Battle Dress wool fall jacket
Canadian Airborne-style camouflage jacket
(NOTE: eventually, I plan to acquire a Finnish Defense Forces M91 camo set, and a Swedish pattern camo set)

GENERIC, EUROPEAN-STYLE "POLICE" UNIFORM (no police markings on it, it's just what I like to call the outfit)

Navy-blue beret
Light-blue Air Force Surplus dress shirt
Navy-blue work pants
Navy blue surplus combat-shirt/jacket (optional)
Navy-blue uniform sweater (optional)
Navy blue shorts (optional)

Nice to see someone respect the code in regards to insignia. Too many phony soldiers nowadays. The camo collection reminds me of my closet, only much of mine is German, American and Swiss. The M91 reminds me of a clubber version of the German Sumpfmuster (Swamp Pattern).

I've been losing a lot of weight lately, so now I'm able to wear a lot of clothes that I like.

Usually during this time of the year, I wear graphic t-shirts and dark-washed jeans. Shoes vary depending on the weather.

Long sleeved black and white stripes top with "Evil Fairys" written all over it
Black fairy T-shirt
Black T-shirt with a woman's face and a woman's skull face on it (In grey and yellow)
Short gothic-style dress
Long blue cardigan
Black and red hoodie with cat ears on the hood

That's all I can think of right now. I'm sure there's loads more.

Tracksuits. They're comfortable.

I did explain why I wear sports clothing; being a sports fan, there's a tremendous amount of pride that comes with wearing that team's logo.

Black boots, my dark blue jeans, black belt, tanktop, longsleeve button up plaid shirt tucked in, not sure what color since I have so many.. sometimes I wear a hat. When I'm relaxing home, I love my lounging pjs with a zipup hoodie.

Yeah, I prefer not to wear insignia. I know that in Canada, the enlisted soldiers (and their kids too) don't like posers, and rightly so. Also, not wearing insignia makes me neutral, so I don't run into conflicts with people over allegiances or being a poser. However, I mostly dress as a railwayman now. I'm more of a train guy than a soldier, however I do have interests in military a bit. Like my favourite era of study is WWII to the fall of the wall.
