GLOUCESTERSHIRE Napoleonic HUSSARS UNIFORM Tunic Jacket

The resplendent military uniforms worn by hussars throughout the 1700s and beyond drew inspiration from the prevailing fashion trends of Hungary during that era. Creating the distinctive uniforms for the “hussars of the marine” has always been a delightful endeavor, and this time we proudly present a simple mate-lot design. The New Handmade Hussars were renowned as daring soldiers, though their conduct could sometimes be unruly. Traditionally depicted as audacious, hard-drinking, and charismatic womanizers with impressive mustaches, European hussars typically maintained long mustaches while eschewing beards. Their long hair was styled with two plaits in front of the ears and a longer queue at the back, a hairstyle they continued to embrace even after other regiments had moved on to shorter haircuts.
