Let's discuss: Reenacting!

[Mr.Mixtape]

The Farbs tell the pro's what to do huehuehue, vive la 21e (Australian 21e best Colonial 21e Fr)

Heading to the US in September for Yorktown 235th, anyone gonna be there?

I wish I could its gonna be awesome.

[Mr T]

I'm hoping we get Bicorns too, I'm going to try get the bicorn this season at least. Habit longue will take me a while, I'm but a poor student.

[Olafson]

Well, the hatwear is the most obvious. Habit longue is expensive and takes long to make + it look similar to the bardin habit. From far you wont really see a difference. But you clearly will see a difference between Bicorn and shako.

I am thinking about it. It sounds nice. But I know no one there.

[Mr T]

Any recommendations for somewhere I can get a bicorn from?

[zac]

Buy a hat blank and make your own!!

Horst from Historische Marketenderei. He might be German but he does speak English quite well, so no worries. Got my own bicorne from him and I am quite satisfied. He also works incredibly fast, I had my own bicorne sent to me less than two weeks after ordering it.

[Olafson]

Yeah, I ordered one there too. It is of decent quality. It is not the very best, but I also do not know where to get proper ones, or proper blanks.

I know there are companies in France that can make really good bicornes, anything you want. But they are about as expensive as a full habite.

[Mr T]

Cheers guys I'll mark that down, I'll probably order it early next year when my next student loan comes through

The French haven't to do much to look like 1806.
I would need a complete new uniform for Jena. But I haven't the money to make 2 new uniforms (tunic and pants) next year

Anyway, maybe I will visit in civil. Heard and read that only 1806-units will be allowed (Also can't plan that far xD)

[joer5835]

That's no problem for me, I've got a Dutch 1795-1805 uniform and an 1810 uniform. Especially my 1795 uniform can easily pass for French, not to mention there probably were Dutch troops attached to Napoleon's army in 1806. But I really doubt I'll be at Jena since my unit doesn't plan on going there and I so I got no one to go with.

Same here. Just join us. I guess you could even continue using your Dutch uniform.

[joer5835]

We'll see about that, still like a year away.

[Vorposten]

What? I should join a french Line instead of participate with anhaltische Jäger? 

Still I am not sure If i will visit it in uniform. A week later is Leipzig again.
This year's Leipzig was one of the best battles I had.  (Disclaimer: I only mean the Battle at Markleeberg, the one in Liebertwolkwitz doesn't count  )

[Olafson]

Muh, who goes to Liebert- anyway.
