Authentic replicas of military uniforms and civilian clothing from the 16th to the 20th century, and especially Lace Wars, Napoleonic, Crimean War, Italian Risorgimento and American Civil War have been researched, designed and reproduced for almost 30 years by myself. My own original firm, “Le justeaucorps”, is now “La Maison du Roy” - Authentic Costumes, which continues the same highest tradition of quality, style - and durability: some of my old customers are still proudly wearing items of clothing that were made for them fifteen or more years ago!
I am able to offer three comprehensive ranges of period uniform and clothing reproductions:
-
Re-enactment range: these items are still mostly produced by me in my workshop from the same authentically drawn patterns. The materials are of the best quality, and either locally procured or bought from the best sources in Europe. These items are normally available by standard sizes and heights, but can also be made to your own measures. Much visible stitching is still hand-sewn, though more extensive use is made of the sewing machine. This range offers the best value for money and is particularly suited to movies, TV series and documentaries, marching bands and costumed societies, re-enactment units etc. Prices are about 25% less than the standard living history range as shown in the on-line catalogue, please enquire.
-
Living history range: all these garments are produced entirely by myself, and are made to measure, or by standard sizes. I only use the best and most accurate materials available, and all visible stitching and finishing is entirely hand-sewn. A sewing machine is only used for the hidden inside seams. This is my standard range, and prices are those shown in the product item page of the on-line catalogue, and can vary slightly for different sizes and options.
-
Museum range: this service is available - for a surcharge of about 30% on the living history range catalogue prices - to museums and discerning customers and collectors. ALL the sewing and top-stitching is entirely done by hand (for periods earlier than the 1860s) and virtually undistinguishable from original clothing.
​
I manufacture myself, here in my workshop in Stockholm - Sweden an exceptional range of military uniforms and civilian clothing for the periods 1500 – 1900. Although my range of uniforms, costumes, headgear and equipment is quite comprehensive - as you can see by having a look at the catalogue - I am also able to recreate almost any designs of the past. I proudly boast of converting customers - and costumiers - ideas or dreams into the finest reality!
​
My products are regularly bought by Reenactors, Historical Interpreters, Museums, as well as Film, Theatre and Television Companies. My reproductions are being used or displayed in many countries, and featured in movies and plays. I have also been busy for up to three years researching and recreating a wonderful collection of 25 life-size, extremely realistic, and fully accoutred mannequins representing the French Maison du Roy of the 1690-1792 period. This collection has been shown in Milano in 2012 at the National Archives, Palazzo del Senato, and is going to be exhibited elsewhere in Italy, Europe and worldwide. Just have a look at the dedicated gallery. Most of these wonderfully and faithfully reconstructed uniforms are available for purchase in the specific section of our Store.
​​
Likewise, all my standard tailored items can be ordered through this website, or for those of you who still have my old catalogues, you can use e-mail orders as before. I am also happy to receive enquiries for Cosplay clothing, just send us your design and we will reply with our quote for making your costumes.
​
Please take notice that all clothing is made to order, unless it is clearly marked in the website Store as a stock item. I rarely have a quiet period, and at certain times, when I get large bulk orders or big commissions, I am even busier! Also, as for most items the correct, authentic materials like fabrics, trimmings, buttons and accessories may not be all in stock, I ask you to always allow at least 12 to 16 weeks for making up and delivery - unless you are specifically quoted a shorter deadline. However, rush orders can still be received, for a price surcharge of 25%.
​
If you urgently need to discuss your order with me, please use the contact form and I will endeavour to call you back as soon as possible, or contact me through my own e-mail address.
​
If you want to see my items being made, have your measures taken or for a fitting, you can make an appointment by email to come and visit my workshop in Stockholm - I am open Monday to Friday, and even on Saturday or Sunday occasionally.
