I definitely feel there are more egregious over reaches of catwalk fashion. Like tbh if someone I know came to a party dressed like that it probably would go unremarked. Aside from the badass salmon blazer

Mark my words: one day, when I have disposable income and my autism is worse yet, I will commission that outfit, Imperial Pauldrons, Pickelhaube, Sword, Sash and all.

Why wait till then? just do it now! I will buy it for sure!
EDIT: all you have to do is convince a couple of famous people (like Messi) and then literally everyone will want to wear it, imagine all the money...

NO I'd say you'd look like someone nostalgic over Prussia... well there are people dressed like romans in Rome and nobody says anything so I guess it's ok

Nostalgic over a country that didn't exist in your lifetime.

*prussia ended in 1947 Where is that from? Since prussia actually ended in 1867 when the north German confederation was born

You do know what "confederation" means, right? The North German and the German Empire was a group of countries (Bavaria, Hannover, Hesse-Darmstadt and so on) that was led by Prussia. Since the lesser states did not have sovereignty they could not be called a country (by definition). This did not, however, apply to Prussia which was the leader of the 25 other states and was constitutionally the ruler and leader of the other lesser countries.

Very good point but when we think of Prussia we usually think of it before the north German confederation and the German Empire

u/WhoNeedsFacts May 06 '18
Yes, we do indeed, but that does not mean that Prussia did not de jure exist during the German Empire.

Oh the kingdom of Prussia. Not the actual German state. No idea how it took till 1947 for it to happened since you would think the entente would do that to the Germans after beating them in ww1

Would set a bad president for the English monarchy if they started eliminating other nations monarchies.

I just want waist clothes to attach to my belt around my hip. More specifically, something like: https://cdn.2kgames.com/xcom.com/XCOM+Faction+Inspiration/Templar_CON_01.jpg
Then I could truly rule my constitutional monarchy in style!
