1st Official Welcoming Ceremony by Mounted Troops...

These uniforms are bad as well, its looks like they're wearing içlik under the ordinary uniform.

I agree, some historical clothing would have been better suited. But then again others would cry 'look at Turkey wannabe Ottoman Empire', but who gives a schit about them, it's our history.

Brits know how to do it!

Do you see Brits wearing medieval armor ? no. what they wear is the last stop of their historical evolution, thats what I'm talking about, if its gonna be historical then it should be from near history, just like the example I gave. Why people thinks it would be cool to wear Janissary clothes ? it would look ridiculıus, think about Persian guards wearing pajamas, things are evolved for a reason.

I didn't knew you were Turkish btw, why don't you put flags on.

So the ceremony was not welcoming anyone? Was it the opening of the palace as a museum?

1st post of this thread is about our Presidency... That mounted troops and other mounted troops located at Topkapı Palace is different... These are 2 different events...

In 1st post President Berzins of Latvia welcomed by our President...

Other troops are for Topkapı Palace...

I agree with you. We cant have them looking like akijis or sipahis for example because they didn't have standard uniforms so it would not be historically accurate although we could make a standard version. The jannisaries had a standard uniform but they were not cavalry troops. I think going with the late ottoman period uniforms are good because it is a nice mix of turkish and western uniforms so it wont scare to many people inside of Turkey and outside.

Janissary clothes/Ottoman armor can be worn by some entertainers around Topkapı, would attract tourists.

I went to Williamsburg in the united States. Basically what they have in the historical part of the town are reenactors. For example I was walking and there were two ladies wearing old style clothes sitting on a bench reading a book loudly. They also have fake blacksmiths and soldiers walking around.

Some one acting like Thomas Jefferson

Thanks for explaining

Costumes are sh.t, a more traditional and unique costume would be better, like late Ottoman/early Republic Kalpaks

Perhaps, but they still look good IMO.
