This master’s thesis examines the clothing culture within selected non-military organizations and associations in the territories of the Ljubljana and Maribor Oblast, and later the Drava Banate, from the adoption of the Vidovdan Constitution to the beginning of World War II in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Following a brief overview of the circumstances in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the thesis proceeds with a description of individual civilian organizations or associations, as well as an overview of their composition and activities. The central focus of the thesis is a detailed chronological examination of the relevant regulations and provisions governing clothing and uniforms. By analysing available photographic sources and preserved material historical artefacts, the study seeks to verify the prescribed regulations and to assess the extent to which they were reflected in actual practice. The master’s thesis will additionally be supplemented with illustrations to provide a clearer insight into the subject under discussion.
