Some people might pick me up on calling the shoulder straps 'epaulettes', but I was heartened to see that even the official document specifying correct British military dress regulations gets this wrong more often than right.

I expect you to wear that uniform in all of your future videos and shall be most disappointed if you don't.
-
Lindybeige fire extinguishers for all of our fire arrows.

Lindybeige 2018 - "Military people like revolvers because they go 'bang'"

I clicked this link to learn about British Officers' Kit. I leave with the knowledge of how to tell if a lego figure is a man or a lady.
-
Rare motion picture of Colonel Lindy B. Beige (The Battle Dentist) of the newly formed Royal Army Dental Corps gesticulating with his newly refurbished kit, 1921 colourised
Also...
"If you need a filling, call me." Colonel Beige upon conversing with a group of ladies at an officer's ball, 1921. -
I would very much like a LindyBeige Fire Extinguisher
-
omg, you forgot the most important and memorable piece of British Officers Kit.... the stick.
-
"Granted, I moisturize."
- Lindy Beige -
I eagerly await lindybeige fire extinguishers with great anticipation.
-
I was told that the Pith Helmet was particularly effective in keeping the soldier cool in desert regions. You soaked it in water and it retained the moisture for quite some time. It didnt drip.
-
To the leather being creaky, that's actually the result of it being unworn. As it wears , say due to daily use, it will lose that stiffness. Equestrian equipment , bridles, stirrups, saddles ..etc.. make similar sounds when new.
-
170 years of battlefield dentistry. The pistol is in case one of your procedures goes horribly wrong.
-
The time is right for some Lindybeige branded cloaks
-
“Do I look 170 years old to you? Granted, i moisturise...” lmao

Front of shirt: This is my lindybeige shirt
Back of shirt: more on that later -
How about two medieval archers on a t-shirt. One shouting "Fire" and the other guy saying "What?" and looking confused
-
Why this guy doesn't have a PBS show is beyond me. He's great. Long Live Lindybeige!

I was half expecting Lindy to do the outro in place of the lego man
