Who designed the Vatican's Swiss Guard uniforms?

Answer 1

Commandant Jules Repond (1910-1921) created the current uniforms in 1914. While both Michelangelo and a painting of the Pontifical Swiss Guard bearing Pope Julius II on a litter (by Raphael) are often cited as inspiration for the Pontifical Swiss Guard uniform, the actual uniforms worn by those soldiers are of the style which appears by today's standards as a large skirt.

Answer 2

Commandant Jules Repond (1910-1921) created the current uniforms in 1914.

Pope Julius II fostered the Pontifical Swiss Guard and they became "official" on January 22, 1506. It is unknown who designed their uniform, but most fingers point to Michelangelo. However, it was simplified and redesigned by Commandant Jules Repond in 1914. The most recent uniform (as of the late nineties) is constructed out of wool, weighs eight pounds, has 156 pattern pieces, and takes thirty-two hours and three fittings to create.
