18th Century Prussian Infantry Soldier Baroque Uniform Costume

Historical Context and Garment Details

This military attire transports you straight to the eighteenth century, the golden era of Baroque warfare when the Prussian army under Frederick II the Great was known as Europe's most efficient military machine. The core of the costume is the long justaucorps coat made from warm wool-flausch fabric, featuring signature folded cuffs in a contrasting light blue shade. The back of the coat features split tails, historically designed to allow soldiers to comfortably draw a hanger or smallsword. Beneath the coat, a stylish blue vest reaching exactly to the waist features button closures, accompanied by a white shirt with a lace cravat. The lower half features fitted culotte trousers that reach the knee. The look is completed by a stiff tricorn hat trimmed with decorative braid.

Care and Safety Instructions

Due to the high wool content in the coat, we strictly recommend professional dry cleaning to prevent any shrinkage of the fabric. The vest and trousers can be hand-washed in lukewarm water. Never tumble dry and iron only at a low temperature setting using a damp cloth. Exercise great caution around open campfires at historical encampments, as the synthetic components of the material are flammable.

Recommended Accessories

To fully complete this uniform, we recommend adding white historical stockings, leather Baroque buckle shoes, and a replica of an eighteenth-century Prussian infantry sword. Please note that the footwear, stockings, weapon, and scabbard shown in the photographs are for illustrative purposes only and are not included in the package.
