Second hand costumes, opportunities
We did rental 12 years long, and we stopped because we don't have time enough.
We also buy sometimes second hand uniforms.
Some costumes were more adapted for movies or theater, we precise the best use of them, as much as we can.

Officier d'ordonnance de l'Empereur. Gorgeous uniform in red colour....that never existed.
The price shown is for the jacket with its epaulette and aiguillette, together with the breeches and vest.
All in very good, almost unworn condition.
Ordinance officer outfits were green at the beginning of the Empire, some late illustrations, including some produced well after the end of the Empire, depict them as almost navy blue. In a book published by Éditions Quatuor, such an outfit is shown in red!
It is reproduced from a photo of a portrait of De Watteville, of Swiss origin, who was aide-de-camp to Marshal Lannes.
Red being the color of the Swiss, it seemed quite coherent, and what's more, we really wanted to believe it, because the result is superb.
If you want to be stopped every 2 meters for photo requests, this is the ideal outfit!
Problem! The original portrait has disappeared, burned a long time ago.
The reproduction of the painting was done after recoloring, choosing a color that is certainly very pleasant, but not the original color, and besides, on the recolored image, the ribbon of the Legion of Honor is purple.
So, avoid in re enactment, very nice for theater for instance.
Jacket for a waist circumference of 100 cm max, chest circumference 100 cm as well.
Trouser waist 100 cm.
The jacket is embroidered with alternating oak leaf, laurel and palm motifs. We have chosen eagles to decorate the lapels, although palm motifs would have been just as acceptable, according to various sources.
Epaulette trèfle on one side, "classical" one on the other side.

Napoleon's bicorn/hat . Size 54
Made in France, of wool felt. Hat by the Everest brand (Ecuyer-Thomas creation), a brand that no longer exists.
So, it's not our own, but it's perfectly adequate, beautifully patinated, almost like the real one!
The only drawback is the particularly small head circumference, which makes it almost unusable for men.
The cockade, usually smaller than those of officers, features the unusual color sequence specific to the Emperor: white, blue, and red.
The braid button is black, as is the braid itself.
Cockade has the very special succession of colours of Napoleon hat: white, blue, red, and is quite smaller than all officers types.
Back width: 49 cm
Back heigth: 20,3 cm
Front heigth: 14,5 cm
Dimensions can be different of few mm according to head sizes.
Made in france from woollen felt.

The retired empress no longer really has the opportunity to wear her dresses. She has given us several to sell.

The cape is lined with satin, the muff is an authentic old hand warmer sleeve (around 1900) that we covered with the same faux fur as the cape.

Stirrups for light cavalry general officers.
Very nice copy of an original pair kept in Invalides museum.
Caution, size and width of feet were quite more narrow than now.
As these stirrups have size of an original pair, width is only 8 cm as max diametre of inner circle.
It can be too narrow for a use in re eanactment, nad proportion of cupper gives to metal a slightly pink nuance (not visible on pictures) that indicates a high proportion of copper.
So if you are heavy and appreciate to stnd up on your stirrups, forget this pair;.
For collection or decoration, there are nice pieces
