Reenacting The French Napoleonic Fusilier Part I: Headgear & Uniforms

Поділитися

  • Опубліковано 4 кві 2018
  • A detailed examination of the late Napoleonic era French Fusilier of the 21st Regiment of the Line. This video is the documentation of how I created my impression with the help of Ian McWherter. The goal was to create the most accurate representation possible based on the resources available to me. Technically this impression would be representative of the 1812-1815 French Napoleonic Infantryman.

    Most people want to reenact the imperial guard, it's nice to finally see someone reenacting a common Fusilier for a change. Uniform turned out great by the way. I also love that you paid attention to accuracy.

    Very Impressive !!!
    You put so much work and knowledge into creating this Napoleonic soldier that you should get a job, as specialist curator at the Musée de l'Armée in Paris.
    Great respect, in the pursuit of excellence.
    Lucien Rousselot, a battle painter of the Napoleonic era, often painted using original elements of uniforms and armament. At one time he was very dissatisfied with the way his shirt or jacket sleeves were arranged on a model. He looked through the books until he discovered that the cloth was cut by a tailornot along but across (or the other way round - I don't remember anymore).
    I see a similar passion in you.
    Thanks to you, the Napoleonic army is still alive.

    You see it all of the time in the movies - the costumiers put the waist line at the modern level and never take the trouble to notice that historically it was much higher, at navel level, or in some early periods even lower than it is today. Well spotted!

    Mon ami, great wideo. I really like how you put a lot of effort into recreating the individual pieces! As a reenactor myself from the 33eme de ligne in Poland, I too make (most) of my equipment myself. All the pieces look great, I only have one comment concerning the campaign pants. The drawings from the period wich you refer to, are showing caricatures and the pants were in reality a lot lower and would end a bit above the navel. If you read the earlier regulations, it is mentioned that the veste should cover the highest button of the pants, which tells us something about the height of the pants themselves. Keep doing great work and I hope to see more videos from you in the future! Vive l'empereur!

    I was wondering, are you considering making clothing from that era on order? I'd be interested in the underwear (really...), i.e. the linen shirt and drawers. If so, we could discuss details of confection and tariffs.
    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    This is a very good video and also great attention to detail. I do have a question though. Is it possible to still see 1806 model shakos in 1810+ (when the new shako first eas first made) or would they have all been replaced by then?

    • @seanbissett-powell5916
      @seanbissett-powell5916 9 місяців тому

      In theory they should all have been replaced. New equipment would be issued to fresh recruits plus an additional issue in the autumn (so that troops went through the winter with uniforms that weren't already falling apart). The regulation specified a 3-year replacement cycle on headgear, with each regiment receiving equipment for a third of their number each year.
      But regulation and reality often diverged ! There was a big re-equip in 1809-10 after the end of the 1809 campaign, at a time where the Emprire was mostly at peace (apart from a little bit of trouble down in Spain). So by 1811-12, it's almost certain that troops would almost entirely have current pattern shako's. There are bound to be a few men who kept old ones that had worn in and were comfortable, and quite a few colonels worked hard to keep hold of grenadier bearskins even though they were very non-regulation by then. But after 1812, you might see some 1806 pattern shakoes re-appearing as depots were stripped of anything hidng in dark corners to equip the new armies that were being raised in a hurry.

      They would put everything in them: from all kinds of food to coinpurses, spoons, tobacco pouches. Maybe even some small tools for the firearm.
      As for the pantaloons, they reached up to the navel, not higher as shown here. The ones in the video are unfortunetely incorrect compared to originals. The image he used is only a caricature.
