Braid, First Empire
You can buy many types of braid in white cotton, some can be dyed. WE NEVER DYE BRAIDS FOR YOU, BECAUSE WE CANNOT GUARANTEE A CONTINUITY IN COLOURS.
W offer you to make some items by yourself, because it is less expensive or because you like to do it this way.
We offer you to make some items by yourself, because it is less expensive or because you like to do it this way.
If you have to make epaulettes, or frogs and braids for a dolman for instance, dye all parts altogether
In some cases we propose types of braids which were not used during this period, but if you fold them or sew them together, you can obtain braids that are not made anymore, or at a very expensive price.
We have usual supplyers and we have also exceptional opportunities. We bought a big amount of military braid and we can sell some of them for a very low price, make your choice and enjoy this very special offer

Silver braid 40 mm, waves, to border bicorns.

So we cannot supply some braids that we sell in gold..

One width will be quite enough for some dignitaries.
We deliver this braid with white threads on sides, that you have to take off.
As you order this braid it means that you know how to use scissors!
We took off this white threads on some cm to show you what you have to do, but we don't do it.
