Chemise et Cravate

Return to the 7th Hussars Home Page

The Chemise is the everyday shirt worn under the Habit.  Townsend sells an 18th Century Workshirt in a style typical on the Continent for over a hundred years.  Our officers wear a white linen shirt while the hussars wear a white cotton shirt.  The shirt was closed at the neck with a black cravatte.

You should also buy a pair of braces (suspenders) representative of the period.  Elastic straps are not found in our period - use non-elastic cotton webbing straps with leather tabs.  The Townsend PA-137 is a good choice, inexpensive and typical of the period.
