What are these, and who wore them? Spanish?

Hello,
I bought these a while ago, put them away and forgot about them. I was told these are Spanish civil war era, however I have no idea. It looks to me like they used to be red at one time, however they are so brittle, looks like its flaking apart, also, appears to be metal, diamond under the fabric. Sorry, about the crappy pictures. Thanks guys!
