Top-run: Various full Uniform shots, 2nd from right is a 1795 hat (Other ranks) 1st from Right is a later Bicorne, small, but similar to what the Real General Vyse would have worn in the Dragoons.
Bottom run:
1: General Poser shot
2: Darcy shot
3: Obligatory comedy shot
4: Commando 1775
5: Different lighting
I regret that the furs are real, ww2 Martin furs, there must be six animals in that scarf - they're long dead and it's vintage - it was my grandmothers, so at least they havent gone to waste.

I'm using this as a reference for a drawing. I hope you don't mind, but tell me if you do. The uniform's amazing, by the way

Oh Thank you thank you thank you thank you thaaaannnkkk you for these pictures!! Beautiful stock, and beautiful pieces!! (Plus you make a pretty great model!) Where did you come across that coat?? <3

I don't know about being a good model, but the coat is superb! I had it made buy a guy near London, John Anastasio
It cost a pretty penny, but definitely worth it.

Ahhh whatever I think you do well in it! I don't know if the photo is any good indication of the coat's quality, but it LOOKS amazing, and worth whatever it cost!

Incredible how such great costumes can be...re-made? Anyways, I like this one.

*swoon* You, sir, make a rather dashing soldier.
That said, there's an immense amount of detail in that coat. It makes me drooool.

HAHAHAHAH yes, well it cost a lot, so it better look good
Heh thanks for the compliments.

Squeeee! Dashing! Dapper! and vintage or antique fur does not support the current fur trade, though it is good you mention it to not be mistaken for giving a bad example
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
heheh yes, can't be too careful!
And thanks for your compliments!

Why yes, because you know what will happen, people will try to dry their dog in the micro-wave...
Compliments well deserved, Sir.

Very actually - you wouldnt think it. Only problem it is quite warm, but then it's meant to be worn in all weathers.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do too.... Well this was a long time in the ordering so the cost was spread out but yes, it's worrying...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahaha!!! Well, I suppose they count as assets?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Most of them do, antiques increase in value as they get rarer more significant etc. But replicas.... that all depends on the quality, condition and size. Many reenactors are overweight so my skinny coat won't be popular.
Anyway, i should really do something about insurance...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah you should.
And coming from another skinny person, BAH.

Goddamn. I WANT this hat. So bad!
Wonderful pack, wonderful stocks!

Which one?! LOL
Thanks for your kind words!
I went to Stuttgart a couple of times in 1998-2000 i think

I have NO idea how it it is called in english... In german it's the "Dreispitz". (There are some other very interesting names for it though...)
Nice! I live about 15 km north from Stuttgart!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dreisspitz - so three point? Well in French/English, we call it the Tricorne which means the same thing
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wohh! Amazing, I learned something! Even though it's not really a Tricorne, but I want it anyways. (My favourite name for a Tricorne in German is "Nebelspalter", which means Fogsplitter 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fog or frog? Both are very cool names
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
FROGSPLITTER
Hahaha, this is awesome xD
It's actually 'Fog' but you are right, they are both amazingly cool

Oh if only women in the real world would swoon for me, might be a bit awkward though, might cause a hazard on pavements/roads, but i'd be happy
