Let's discuss: Reenacting!

oh another dutch farb,

Nothing against dutch people, their awesome and stuff.

And yes I've joined the 21eme officially and busy getting my kit together.

On a different note im currently 4 pounds away from the average weight of a Union Soldier which was 143 Pounds. I definitely feel authentic builds help make an impression more than most high quality uniforms.

Shit then I have to loose 66 pounds or 30 Kilogrammes before i am an authentic reenactor...
Guess I'll get on with it then..


Shitty is im about to order my uniform and it would suck if i suddenly dont fit them anymore haha

It depends on how large you are, you know. You are not very small...

If anyone can help me find a french infanry 1812 Habit Veste made within now and 7 weeks then hit me a message on steam. or leave a message here.
It's one of the items I really want to get and can't get anywhere in a good time frame.

Also still looking for a source for the Pokalem...


Normally my regiment gets the uniforms made at http://www.re-enactorswardrobe.eu/ but they are overworked and have 10 weeks waiting time, too late for the event in france at the end of may.

oh another dutch farb, 

 

A habit veste within 7 weeks? Vince, you can forget that.

[Olafson]

Well you can buy some cuts and the materials necessary for it, go to your local tailor and create it there.. I guess. The local tailor should have the skills to create it as long as he has the materials.

[Duuring]

Dangerous. Tailors usually have no idea of 19th century fashion and designs. Most online 'Make-it-yourself' cuts are pretty bad too.

[DeoVindice61]

Unless you provide the tailor pattern.  Tailors can read instruction and sew it for you. Just ask for handsewn or machine sewn whatever. But i would imagine that will come out in a hefty price.

[Vincenzo]

Yeah, I currently have two options left, either a company in the Netherlands that has experience with Napoleonic Uniforms, not sure in the specific one I'm after, but I will mail them about it;

My other hope is a company in Australia, he has some on stock and is checking if their in my size, if not its probably not going to be in time shipped from Australia;

Though their prices are awesome, because the australian dollar is worth next-to-nothing it might even be intresting to order some more stuff from australia, even including shipping it won't be bad on cost, just delivery time will be long.
