greetings one and all...i'm new to napoleonic things.mostly i do ren reenactment (hence the e-mail name)...i have decided to make a 5th elite hussars uniform for costume college next year.its an expensive choice.after much searching i found the correct sky blue melton wool (as i interpret the drawings in the books i've looked at) .if anyone is similarly inclined the fabric came from mary flanagan in wisconsin...but i digress.my current search is for durable gold cord and braid for the lace on dolman and pelisse.i've good a idea on how to make the colpack without causing a divorce.the rest of the outfit is fairly staight forward (minus firearms...)any suppliers that you might recommend ( not the one that has it for 6.35 a foot..) i'll check the website often ...merci and bon jour
