Episode 85: Texas Revolution Military Uniforms
Bright colors, big hats, and tall plumes: the military uniforms of the Texas Revolution are about as opposite as you can get from modern-day khaki and camouflage.
We reveal the practical reasons behind the ornate military fashion, how these intricate uniforms fostered morale within the ranks, and the uniforms that survived battles and time to be on display, right here at the Alamo. Featuring the Alamo's Director of Interpretation Tom Castanos, Alamo Living Historian Cameron Lyman, and the Alamo's Collections Manager Misty Lanham.
