About this deal

Doc Cotton is a man of simple pleasures and diverse interests. His heart belongs to the world of cosplay, costumes and fancy dress, with a special fondness for Halloween, where his creative spirit truly shines. Over the years he has been hired by people across the country to make custom halloween costumes and other fancy dress for specific events. Napoleon, who had been the hero of Austrian, French, Italian and even Broadway musicals, was the subject of an English musical in 2000, when Not tonight, Napoleon opened at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London.

Oscar winner Rod Steiger had a miserable time playing Napoleon in the 1970 film Waterloo. Steiger was depressed following the collapse of his marriage to Claire Bloom and spent as much time as he could in his room, gulping down Johnnie Walker Red Label whisky. He was uneasy about riding a cavalry horse and when an aerial bomb exploded in the wrong place, the actor was nearly thrown off his steed. “This is not my idea of a good time,“ Steiger observed. They re-shot the scene using a wooden sawhorse. In 1799, Napoleon seized control of the French government in a coup d’état and established himself as First Consul of the French Republic. He then began a series of economic, political, and social reforms, known as the Napoleonic Code, which had a lasting impact on the legal systems of Europe. When he's not busy crafting imaginative costumes, Doc Cotton loves nothing more than a good party. He's the one who knows how to turn any gathering into a memorable event, infusing it with fun and excitement.François Richard-Lenoir 1765-1839 was a French manufacturer of industrial fabric, which became one of the leading cotton merchants in the early 19th century. Napoleon’s life was epic: his rise to power, his fall from glory, his catastrophic decision to attempt to invade Russia in 1812, his crushing defeat at Waterloo, his banishment. It is no surprise that there are thousands of history books and essays about Napoleon as well as a vast number of novels set in the Napoleonic era.

You ditched Napoleon! Do you realise you have stranded one of Europe’s greatest leaders in San Damis?” Ted shouts at his brother. Cashmere shawls are so called from the capital of a province in Asia, within the territories of the Great Mogul. About 100 000 shawls were made yearly in Kashmir. To complete the look, you’ll need to wear a pair of white gloves. These will help to create an elegant and formal look, and will match the white pants.See our productions of hussar sabres and all our sabres with blue and gold blades, nobody else can do the same at the moment!

Napoleon wore elaborate clothing for banquets, receptions and ceremonial occasions, including his marriage to Marie Louise in 1810. However, for day-to-day activities, and while on his military campaigns, he preferred relatively plain clothes. Napoleon’s favourite uniforms When you say “He established detailed and extravagant dress codes for his court and his army”, it was an attempt to mimic the royal courts but I think it was also to support and foster the French industry of fabric, clothes, laces…At the court, the ladies were not allowed to wear English fabrics (even if they did, especially Joséphine! ) Jean Arida, of the Napoleonic society of Compiègne, who will be part of a group of men and women dressed in Napoleonic costume at a special film screening with a historians’ debate, exhibition of historic artefacts and imperial throne for selfies, said he thought the film would boost the work of Napoleonic re-enactment groups.Napoleon had another luxurious costume made for his coronation as King of Italy in 1805, this time in green. He established detailed and extravagant dress codes for his court and his army. “[H]e introduced elaborate new uniforms, using embroidery, lace, plumes, breastplates, dolmans, towering helmets, bear and tiger skins, more lavishly than the royal army ever had.” (5) The fashions of the Empire have been much, yet on one important point, perhaps, not sufficiently criticized. We allude to the use of stays, which came in with the winter of 1809, and have held their place ever since, in spite of all the sarcasm that has been lavished on those mechanical aids to dress. By way of compensation, the Empire gave us Cashmere shawls, first brought into France at the time of our Egyptian expedition (1798—1802). Previously to that, Tippoo-Saïb had included shawls among the gifts he had sent to Louis XVI.; but they were not generally worn until later. Protest by Piis. Step 1: Begin with the ba sics t o start your transformation into Napoleon, you'll need a few key elements. Grab a Napoleon Hat or opt for a regal touch with a royal king crown. Complete the look with a short brown wig, emulating the leader's distinctive hairstyle. In France, it has always been complex, with a debate in recent years over whether he should be put forward under a positive light, in terms of political advances, or whether the focus should be on the other side – aspects such as rules on slavery or Jewish people. It’s for historians to shed light on that complexity.” Constant, the first valet of the emperor’s household, was in the best position to know, and he reported in his memoirs that most mornings he helped the emperor into his green cavalry uniform. According to Baron Fain, however, Napoleon wore his grenadier uniform…when in Paris and his cavalry uniform when traveling on campaign. Marchand and Meneval give another view, claiming that the emperor wore the cavalry uniform on weekdays and the grenadier uniform on Sundays. Evidence in the portraits of the era are just as confusing as these written reports; they depict him in either uniform whether at war or in peacetime.
