It looks like it was designed by Hugo Boss.

Hugo Boss did the SS uniforms in WW2, just in case you didn't get that.

They only produced them, they did not design the SS Uniforms. The Design was done by Karl Diebitsch and Walter Heck, two SS members with no connection to Hugo Boss

“Only produced”? Hugo Boss was a prominent member of the Nazi party and used forced labor in his factories to make Nazi uniforms (starting in the early 30s). Gets no pass because he didn’t literally design them all.

Wasnt the point. You often hear they were his designs, which is not the case. No one said anything about his personal or professional involvement

I hate to say this, but this looks way worse than Nazi uniforms. The patches are haphazardly placed, the hat is comically busy, and it's not even tailored properly to the soldier wearing it. It looks baggy and unflattering.

The gaudy quality evokes the cocky uniforms of authoritarian regimes whose officers have more medals than heroism, while the bagginess evokes the out of shape quality of the president who commissioned this branch.

The only thing I like about it is the mod Nehru collar and the placement of buttons.
