The growth of the United States Army Uniform, published by LionHeart FilmWorks and Historical Wardrobe a few months ago is rapidly going viral using well more than a million views. Thevideo tells the story of the army uniform all the way back into the 17th century when the first organized militias were formed that could later develop into the United States Army.
LionHeart FilmWorks and its sister company Historical Wardrobe created the film. According to Kevin R. Hershberger, President and founder of the two firms, it was an ambitious project that no-one has ever tried before in this manner.
“This video is a joint effort by both companies and teams in our quest and passion to produce historic content with an almost obsessive level of historical accuracy and attention to detail,” says Hershberger. “We covered 400 decades old, so I feel that is something to be proud of!”
It gives the viewer a fascinating glimpse of 23 distinct fashions of dress — the uniforms, weapons, and just click for source accoutrements — that were worn by the U.S. military soldier as far back as the 1620s. The movie is actually the first in a string that LionHeart FilmWorks and Historical Wardrobe are likely on the topic of historical U.S. military uniforms.
Hershberger believes that the movie may be particularly relevant this month because of Armed Forces Day on May 19th, that observes current members of the U.S. army, and Memorial Day on May 28th, which observes members of the U.S. military who have given their lives in service to the country.
