Hello, this is my first purchase of equipment for the Crimean ! The infantryman's tie!
Regulation describes only one section of the neck, the neck black satin Turk. Excluding the latter is more likely than full dress, and the instructions defined for the Crimean campaign specify it's tie color dark blue sky (another variation of blue in the French military vocabulary!) which is being taken. This one is restricted until 1860.
It is "calico", 1.50 m long, 42 cm. Hemmed on three sides.
It fits around the neck as follows:
"The tie neck and back cover attached to a knot whose parts are hidden under his coat."
In terms of dimensions, the one I found is good but only 1.50 meters (!) 20 cm wide. Excluding these ties were largely intruded into two parts in the width, otherwise you have a real scarf around her neck! I happened to find ties 14-18 (the same one that interests us, they were all cut in the width!).
Other concerns, that is hemmed by machine, but it's first time I find a good indigo calico! I'll de-hem and redo hemmed by hand! A good occupation for my winter evenings!
