I dont think they had one, besides dresscodes arent smart, it only makes it easier for then enemy to reconise you.

In Guerilla Warfare he does talks about what are the best clothes to wear, but nothing of a particular dresscode.

Yeah, Thats True. Thanks
But doesn't a uniform increase morale? I believe some of his guys wore uniforms as a US soldier would a medal.

Correct me if Im wrong here. I haven't read On Warfare for 6 months

Morale can be raised on other ways, like with candy or smokes like Che also mentioned in the book.

Based on photos, I would say that a pair of olive combat fatigues would probably do.

They wore stolen army uniform, with armbands to distinguise themselves from their enemies. Check out this thread (http://www.revleft.com/index.php?showtopic=53944) for a few more details and a photo.
