Standard Warden Equipment?

I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing updates to their methodology. Even if they're selfmade, we could see Carlos and Co. wearing spell-worked leathers beneath their cloaks, shoulder holsters with enhanced hand guns, and gear belts with anything they could need.Seems more likely for Harry to be surprised to find a room of wardens wearing these. And Carlos would take the opportunity to point out that he made Harry's style look good.

The cloak looks good too. Definitely more appropriate for operations where you dont want everyone to notice you. At the very least they need more assault rifles though. I think Marcone has had the right idea about that from day 1.

It'd be an interesting twist, to have the young wardens modeling themselves after a man the old guard distrusted.
The thing is, we know JB likes the button/vest look, considering he did a similar look for Grimm in the Cinder Spires...
--- Quote ---He wore his uniform was cut and designed identical to the Fleet uniform, accept that the leathers are jet black instead of blue and trimmed in blood red instead of gold. There were two broad stripes at the end of each sleeve—indicating rank of captain—and skull-shaped buttons.

And then proceeded to make the outfit for himself.
There's even a version with red trim. Maybe have regional commanders have such distinctions.

If Im not mistaken, He said at one point that it was the other way around: Grimm was written to match a cosplay he already had. ;D

Folks, don't you think the Wardens would use more standardized gear if it was practical and actually better than the alternative? They have to be practical about things like that or they wouldn't survive. A loopy wizard never leaving his highly warded cold tower can get away with being, well, a bit loopy, but the Wardens don't.
btw: I'd bet that the baby Wardens initially received some help such as ready-made potions, cloaks with protections on them and the like. Maybe they still use it, maybe they've figured out how to make stuff that suits them better in the meantime. We don't know.

--- Quote from: Turn Coat ---Veteran Wardens sat on either side of Ancient Mai, dour in their grey cloaks, and three more were sitting or crouching elsewhere in the boat—all of them from the hard-bitten squad that had been on standby back in Edinburgh. They were all armed to the teeth, and their expressions meant business.
[...]
Each individual wizard has his own particular quirks when it comes to how he uses his power. There is no industrial standard for how fire is evoked into use in battle. One of the Wardens coming up behind me sent forth a stream of tiny stars that slewed through the night like machine-gun fire, effortlessly burning holes through trees, rocks, and grey men with equal disdain. Another sent a stream of fire up in a high arc, and it crashed down among several grey men, splashing and clinging to any moving thing it struck like napalm. Lances of scarlet and blue and green fire burned through the air, reminding me for a mad
moment of a scene from a Star Wars movie. Steam hissed and snarled everywhere, as a swath of woodland forty yards across and half as deep vanished into light and fury.
Hell’s bells. I mean, I’d seen Wardens at work before, but it had all been fairly precise, controlled work. This was pure destruction, wholesale, industrial-strength, and the heat of it was so intense that it sucked the air out of my lungs.

Dresden doesn't go into details, but it does appear as though Wardens do have their equivalent to SWAT gear. We just don't know what it is, and from the passages above, it does appear as though the Council favors customization.
