I'm down with Frostgiant's naming convention.
Nice proposal, Doubloon, but I want more. Also, wool retains insulative properties when wet.
Uniforms for the Massed Infantry
A modern army deserves a proper uniform. First are the basics. Cotton undergarments (long johns to be issued in winter), grey gabardine wool pants and jacket, and a light cotton shirt (button up, no collar). The jacket is a button up affair, with a foldable collar and several convenient pockets. One on each side just about the belt, and a stylish buttoned breast pocket on each side. Each button on the jacket has the image of a crown engraved on it. The shoulders of the jacket are stitched with a dark blue crown at the top of the arm to indicate allegiance, and a scepter is embroidered on the left breast pocket. Rank is displayed by the number of crowns stitched onto the right breast pocket. Higher ups are indicated by a single, more ornate embroidery with silver thread. The pants have several useful pockets, two on each side above the knee, along with belt loops. The patrol cap has a small pocket on the inside of the rim to keep small items out of the weather.
A leather belt and leather boots are provided with the uniform. The boots are lace ups, with reinforced soles. The belt comes with attachments to carry an extra magazine or two of ammunition for the soldier's primary weapon, or a leather holster for an officer's sidearm. Spotters and scouts also receive binoculars, and a leather holster for them. Holsters and ammo pouches have flaps covering the top to keep out the weather.
Onto the kit.
A backpack made out of stiff water-resistant canvas holds the soldier's kit - water canteen, mess kit, a basic bedroll, a standard pocketknife, two clean bandages, and a basic entrenching tool. A basic helmet straps to the back of the back while traveling. Made of steel, it weighs a moderate amount and has basic padding for the wearer's comfort.
