2033 "grand father" shirt EMPIRE

Normally not for napoleonic era, bus so many re enactors used them for this period that we sell these shirts also.
It is thin and does not take too much place under your jacket.

Shirt Morgane Empire

Cotton and linen shirt.
The shape of this shirt is not quite Empire but the fabric and the collar suit quite well if you want to wear it under a jacket.

Transformation option for the shirt Morgane in Empire style

Alright, it's not right to sale that kind of shirt for re-enactment but the shirt Morgane is made of a thin and fine fabric that takes very little space underneath the outfit.
What's more, the part that you can see (the collar) has the right cut.
So as long as you don't remove the jacket or the vest everything is alright.
And usually you don't take off your clothes on a battlefield (or during a ball).
At the bivouac you can put on an overall, much thicker.
