Because why not, an additional project is now in r Because why not, an additional project is now in research and hopefully soon in the works. Again a #hussar but this time a #russian one, but again from #1915 basically so I am able to #compare the different styles, get an idea how their clothing and equipment works.

It will be the 13th "His Imperial and Royal Majesty William II the emporer of Germany and King of prussia's" Narva Hussar Regiment.

And then bc getting all the German stuff is pretty difficult and takes much more time, than anticipated, so what you gonna do, right?

Today some testing of the #french #cavalry #unifor Today some testing of the #french #cavalry #uniform of 1915, well just the pieces of cloth. There is still a lot to do on the equipment but we get there. What do my French followers say? 😉

So a side project just started: French cavalry 191 So a side project just started: French cavalry 1915/1916. Basically I want to see where the differences in the parts of the #uniforms are, especially considering the #ridingpants or #breeches and how they work on a horse.
Oh and if @barda_du_poilu is able to wear a German uniform, so am I down for a French one. 😉 Or what does @archives_du_grenier think?
At least I got now the jacket, the #greatcoat and the trousers but more stuff will follow.
Until then I am enjoying this and plan the next steps for my prussian hussar as well.

Allright, these two came back from the frontlines Allright, these two came back from the frontlines in 1919 and wear partly their civilian stuff and partly some of the uniform parts the soldiers got after they had to leave the army. There is a mix of German and Russian uniformparts as equipment.

In the second picture I have a look at the pocketwatch.

Most of the clothes were made by me, the backpack, which is partly to see, is made by @artelalekseeva and the pictures were made at the @lwl_freilichtmuseumhagen
