SASHES, ARMBANDS

To make our sashes for generals and marshalls we had to use 3rd republic sashes, rare and expensive.
Copies were considered as "impossible". Now, with us, it is possible

Accessories used to recognize easily staff officers, generals and field marshals.
Sashes for light cavalry were used as a tradition coming from Hungarian hussars, who were soldiers of fortune, employed by French and all European armies as light cavalry.
Theses sashes were also protections for waist in fights and long cavalcades.

SOUS L'EMPIRE les officiers d'état major étaient dotés d'un brassard, de couleur bleue spécifique à l'état major pour les officiers sous les ordres d'un général de brigade, rouge pour ceux commandés par un général de division, blanc pour les généraux en chef et les maréchaux.
Habituellement les brassards étaient brodés, mais le musée de l'Empéri présente un intéressant modèle de brassard réalisé dans un tissu identique à celui utilisé pour réaliser les ceintures écharpes de commandement.

Les ceintures utilisées par la cavalerie légère, à titre de tradition héritée des cavaliers hongrois (qui furent les premiers hussards "mercenaires"), étaient aussi destinées à maintenir et protéger les reins pendant les longues chevauchées et les combats.
Les baudriers de commandement des maréchaux et généraux d'empire furent de différents modèles, un seul est présenté actuellement sur notre site, d'autres modèles plus suivront.


  • General of Division's command sash, fashioned from a Third Republic sash.

    This sash was commissioned by a client—now deceased—who had assembled a private mini-museum in his home.
    We purchased his entire collection of uniforms from his heir and are offering them for sale gradually.
    Three stars, denoting rank, adorn the Greek-style shield, which is embroidered with gold thread in a checkerboard pattern.
    Adjustable to fit a maximum waist size of 104 cm. Never worn.
    To create this sash, we used a high-quality sash from the Third Republic era—far superior in quality to current Pakistani-made versions.

  • Sashes for general de brigade. Fashioned from a Third Republic sash. As new.

    To create this sash, we used a high-quality sash dating from the Third Republic—far superior to current Pakistani-made versions.
    We replaced the traditional Third Republic-style tassels with Greek-shield-shaped ends, each featuring two stars (the insignia of a brigadier general) and gold bullion braiding.
    Typically, this type of sash was worn tied in a large knot at the side; this specific sash does not come with the knot tied, and the price reflects this.
    You may, of course, have the knot tied yourself at your own expense. Period documents show this type of sash tied in a casual, loose style ("à la diable") over the uniforms of heavy cavalry generals—such as those commanding cuirassiers or carabiniers. In such cases, the sash can be worn as-is by wrapping it twice around the waist. The woven section of the sash measures 3 meters.

  • Command sash for a Divisional General serving as Commander-in-Chief; (very) large size, adjustable, brand new! Suitable for a Marshal

    Command sashes are typically gold striped with red for *généraux de division* (division generals), except when they are commanding an army as commander-in-chief.
    In that case, they wear the same sash as the Marshals: gold and white.
    The distinction lies in the fact that the medallions at the ends of the sash gradually came to feature crossed batons for Marshals; however, in the early Empire, it was not uncommon for a Marshal to wear a sash adorned with stars.
    This sash has never been worn; the excess length beyond the originally intended size was never trimmed off.
    It can therefore accommodate a length of up to 140 cm, though the fastening loops are currently positioned for a 100 cm waist measurement (at navel level).
    You can easily have new ones fitted if you wish.
