Summary:
Morten S. Andersen writes about uniforms in this book chapter from the book "Klær - Påkledningens sosiale liv fra bronsealder til Barne-TV". Uniforms are more than clothes and fabric — they are an expression of the fundamental tension between the individual and the collective. They make us part of something larger than ourselves, but can also strengthen our own identity. The uniform is a practical garment, but also a symbol of power, belonging, and self-understanding.
