Items as shakos or shirts made in series by our suppliers, and on stock, are sent within 3 days, then it can take 3 to 7 days to arrive in your country, and customs can keep your parcel 2 months in USA if they want....We cannot avoid this risk, lower if we send by UPS than if we send by national French post (this last one is less expensive).
All uniforms and civilian clothings are made in our atelier at your size, it can take 2 to 4 months to make them, none is usually on stock.
When you pass an order for uniforms and other items, note that if you don't want to wait a single shipping containing all your order, better pass an order for things on stock, and another one for things needing 2 to 4 months to be made!
We can, as you can see, make any type of civilian costume of the Napoleonic period, for man, or woman.

Petite robe assez sobre, juste un peu de dentelles pour agrémenter le bas.
On nous a dit parfois: "Vous êtes très fort sur les uniformes, mais pas sur les tenues de femmes!"
Et oui, on a eu des commandes pour des centaines d'uniformes et on a ainsi pu prouver ce qu'on savait faire.
Notre clientèle de reconstitueurs étant essentiellement masculin nous n'avons pas eu beaucoup d'occasions de montrer nos talents en réalisant de belles robes....Mais on ne demande que ça!
Surtout au niveau de l'atelier où faire des tenus de femmes, ça change.

This order was made especially for the pleasure of recreating these beautiful items, showing the splendours of the Empire !

This cloak is made of black cloth, to go dancing... or to the opera, cheaper than the velvet cloak but similarly cut.
Type of shirt used by civilian or to stay in camps
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.
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.
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.
An interesting waistcoat matching well with the spirit of those times, the outfits for civilisians were based on military outfits. It's not a mistake if we don't mention the sizes available, please state your waist and chest sizes in the commentary section (at the end of the order form).
