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.

Shako of prince Borghese. Only one copy for sale, size 56. OLD PRICE: €2,700
This hussar shako is a gift from the Borghese family to the Museo Napoleonico in Rome.
Prince Borghese was the second (official...) husband of Pauline, Napoleon's (very) sassy sister.
The Borghese family was extremely wealthy, hence the magnificence of this headdress, surely the most sumptuous shako of the entire First Empire period.
We remade one in size 56 to keep the proportions of the time.
It is for sale again, never worn, in mint condition.

Page porte lunette de l'Empereur. Second hand. Price without bicorn
The emperor used to choose a young man to hold his telescope.
He had a very special coat with a scarf on a shoulder.
An original scarf, green with bees, can be seen at the "Musee de l'Emperi".
Second hand, hardly used, for chest size 76 cm, waist size 62cm.
Very interesting to dress a young man wishing to accompany the Emperor

Ensemble d'occasion de cavalier du 7 ème hussard
This outfit was made in 1991, at a time when we hadn't yet begun our costume design business.
Our reenactor client, now over 70 years old and suffering from health problems, decided it was time to part with his outfit.
We offer a set including a colback (size 59), dolman, pelisse, breeches (holes and repairs, see photos), a rather rough sash belt (consider it a gift), a saber/sabretache and sabretache belt, and a police cap (size 59). We include faux leather overboots... passable for completing a mannequin.
The saber is not included in the price, but you can purchase it (while we have some in stock) on the website.
For a height of approximately 180 cm, a chest measurement of 120 cm, a waist measurement of 100 cm, a hip measurement of 120 cm, and a head measurement of 59 cm.
A few moth holes in the dolman and the pelisse, a little wear on the most used frogs (see photos), nothing dramatic.
The quality is not what we offer our customers, but at the time, the person who made this ensemble made an effort to document it, and the ensemble is far superior to the show/theater productions of the 90s. Note, for example, the bell buttons in the center and bulging buttons on the sides, the fabric is made of good wool, in the right colors.
Note the absence of leather lining at the bottom of the dolman, the jacket cuts are a little simplified, but the ensemble is not ridiculous; few outfits of this type are offered for sale secondhand, and the price is very attractive!
You have the information to make an informed decision. For a model or beginning reenactment, this is a good start.

Hollow metal buttons, recently manufactured. Available in 3 colors, very limited stock.

Epaulettes troops, used till now.
The model is too wide at its outer edge to be used in reenactment during the First Empire period.
From the time of Louis Philippe, the ovoid edges of the epaulettes widened, making them perfectly suited to the Second Empire and many traditional outfits today.
Total length 17 cm, body width 6 cm, maximum width 11 cm

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.

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
