Hussar style in popular culture

The Hussar inspired jacket is one of the most striking fashion items I know of. Once a part of a military uniform, from a Hungarian cavalry dating back to the 15th century, today it inspires multiple stage outfits and fashion houses.

From Balmain and Alexander McQueen (whose education included Gieves & Hawkes, with an own uniform department) to Rihanna to Michael Jackson to Adam Ant to Jimi Hendrix to The Beatles - they rock the braided jackets. The Beatles didn’t really wear Hussar uniforms for the Sgt. Pepper cover, but made the uniform style iconic in the music industry.

And before them, every Regency fashionista in the Western world had her version of it, from smart spencers to snazzy coats (pelisses). It's been a fashion design classic for 200 years!

(Note: a proper Hussar uniform usually featured two jackets - the tight fitting dolman, and the coat like pelisse. The pelisse was typically lined with fur, slung over one shoulder, and only worn as a jacket in very cold weather. In the photos above, Jimi Hendrix wears a pelisse, while Adam Ant wears a dolman. The stage uniform featured by David Rogers shows both a dolman and pelisse)

US Airways’ apology for treatment of Army Ranger ‘too little, too late’ - http://singlewomensover40.com/us-airways-apology-for-treatment-of-army-ranger-too-little-toolate/

US Airways’ apology for treatment of Army Ranger ‘too little, too late’

http://twitter.com/#!/aletheiatruth/status/520713573035544576

As Twitchy reported Friday, passengers on a US Airways flight were outraged when a flight attendant refused to hang up an Army Ranger’s uniform jacket, explaining that the service was available only to first class passengers.

One of those passengers, @Bkirby72, took to Twitter to complain to US Airways, explaining that “three of us in first class begged your poorly trained associate to hang this hero’s decorated jacket,” while WSOC reported that other first class passengers offered to switch seats with the sergeant, to no avail.

US Airways tweeted an apology and promised an internal review, but the airline still isn’t forgiven.

@USAirways is it really in your policy to disrespect brave men such as Sergeant Marle? Flight attendant Ava of US 1930 from PDX to CLT.

@laurakirby76 We have great respect for our Military personnel, Laura. We're very sorry if you observed differently.

— US Airways (@USAirways) October 9, 2014

Sorry if you observed differently? Try again.

We hold all those serving our country in the highest regard and apologize for any offense caused. We are reviewing the incident internally.

@USAirways WAY too little too late. Learn from @AmericanAir — this would NOT happen (I've given my 1st seat to plenty of US military on AA)

— Betsy Novak (@betsyflounders) October 10, 2014

@USAirways until the employee is a former employee it's just lip service!

— Knockoutradio (@knockoutradio) October 10, 2014

@USAirways You will be forgiven after she is fired. It's time to hold employees accountable

— Michael Trotman (@mtrotman) October 10, 2014

@USAirways try this: we fired the crew member who treated one of America's heroes shamefully, we are truly sorry, it won't ever happen again

— Advocacy Ink (@AdvocacyInk) October 10, 2014

It was a military coat with medals. It doesn't take a genius to know the right thing to do. @USAirways Shame on you. Demote that attendant.

— CoolGreenPines (@CoolGreenPines) October 11, 2014

@USAirways "Reviewing internally" FFS. Your policies suck, I'll stick to @SouthwestAir who holds Armed Forces members in the highest regard.

— Mike Arroyo (@iker42) October 11, 2014

@USAirways Talk is Cheap…Prove it. Our veteran should get free airfare for the rest of his life! The Stewardess needs to work in baggage!

— Drew Hanson (@johnnyreb1864) October 11, 2014

@johnnyreb1864 We apologize and are internally reviewing. We hold the men and women serving our country in the highest regard.

— US Airways (@USAirways) October 11, 2014

@USAirways This American hero was treated shamefully. Your policy in this matter needs to be reviewed & changed. Lots of options when flying

— Keith Hoffman (@kyliving) October 11, 2014

Prove it. RT @USAirways We hold all those serving our country in the highest regard …

— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) October 11, 2014

@USAirways What is WRONG with you people?? That flight attendant had NO business treating that soldier that way.

— TalentManagerWendy (@WAW_Wendy) October 11, 2014

@USAirways Really? Well you blew it. You all need suspension/probation and loss of pay. My company will no longer EVER fly US Air

— Less Gov. More Fun. (@LessGovMoreFun) October 12, 2014

@USAirways It is great to have policies but please hire employees with common sense as this is unacceptable and nothing can change that!

— cmconcepts (@cmconcepts) October 12, 2014

@USAirways No way anyone should fly with you — with so much disrespect . This is awful and your airlines is fallen in reputation severely

— Lucien Mark (@LucienMark) October 13, 2014

@USAirways As both a Travel Agency Owner and a (USAF SGT 1976-1980)- I can only say what happened on this flight was a total lack of respect

— Ken (@KenBT) October 13, 2014

No kidding.

We didn't get the situation on Thursday right. We'll always try to do better. http://t.co/HbEXQvvnPJ

Gorgeous Steampunk / Victorian jacket. I'd like to buy it but I think it wouldn't look good with most pants I usually wear.
