Abstract
Just before World War I, the Dutch army introduced a new uniform. As a strictly neutral state with limited production means, the Dutch faced many problems in dressing their army. The new uniform was uncomfortable and was produced in too many shades of grey. Despite governmental rules and patterns, it proved impossible for the state to produce identical uniforms. During economic depression the quality of the cloth declined and malpractice was the order of the day. The grey uniform was never popular among Dutch soldiers. This resulted in many informal uniform alterations and complaints through the years. As such, the interpretation of this grey uniform is not as simple as may at first appear.
