Mine is this little tidbit about Khaki’s from https://www.heddels.com/2019/05/history-khaki-anything-drab/
“Tried and tested by all the major powers, khaki-dyed, lightweight cotton twills became the de facto uniform for any colonizing power. If you were going to ship your boys abroad to pillage and conquer someplace in the Southern Hemisphere, khaki was your go-to color.”
Ok what the fuck. Is there a source beyond the youtube video I don’t want to watch right now. That’s pretty wild claim. The few sites I visit seem to reference the YouTube video as the source
Platypus already linked to a paper which references it: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1363505/pdf/jphysiol01379-0153.pdf
