Uniform of cadet of Saint Cyr (officers school). Jackt with epaulettes, trousers, and shako.
Several prestigious French military academies maintain a strong military tradition, reflected in the wearing of a uniform, sometimes almost identical to that worn in the second half of the 19th century. This contributes significantly to the charm of the Bastille Day parades, where we see students from the École Polytechnique, Saint-Cyr, and a few others marching in close formation, carrying sabers or swords, and sporting charmingly old-fashioned headgear such as bicornes or plumed shakos, just like in the old days.
Includes breeches, jacket, and shako with its expensive plume.
We do not currently have gold epaulettes (officer style) to offer, but you should be able to find some for a lieutenant fairly easily, perhaps by changing the buttons. Alternatively, we are including red epaulettes, the kind worn until the graduation ceremony, with two buttons from the École Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr.
Made by an unknown tailor.
Waist: 96 cm. Inseam: 73 cm.
Chest: 110 cm. Neck: 40 cm.
No moth holes. One of the two light blue facings is slightly faded; the rest of the uniform is in near-mint condition.
Interesting for a collector, but also suitable as a military uniform for theatrical performances.
Indeed, this uniform is a traditional garment, cut in a style that is perfectly compatible with the uniforms of the Belle Époque.
It will be perfect for dressing a soldier in a play by Labiche or Courteline.
