Items as shakos or shirts made in series by other 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).
No complete uniform is on stock, except rare second hand jackets.
Delivery depends of our planning, sometimes it can be more than 4 months. Ask us before ordering.
Don't forget that some embroideries are difficult to do and some furs are very difficult to find. If you want to obtain the best result, we sometimes need time.
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!

Ideal cloth for this shirt, can boil, fresh in summer, keep warmth in winter.
Caution, on a tight jacket, can be a bit too thick to feel comfortable, but extremely pleasant on camps....after the battle!
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.
Type of shirt used by civilian or to stay in camps
These gloves can be seen in Empéri's museum and are shown page 60 of the book "les Trésors de l'Empéri".
Only size L on stock.
