I just watched a YouTube video about the history of Carhartt and the host made a really amazing point: Almost all of men’s fashion is either derived from military uniforms or work wear. Cardigans, T shirts, men’s suits, field coats, wristwatches, bomber jackets, and trench coats are all based on military clothing.

Just thought this fact dovetailed neatly into your point about how toxic masculinity grows out of warfare.
