Napoleonic French Uniform information.

[Jabba]

A friend is planning on starting a French Napoleonic (not revolutionary) army in 28mm and is looking for uniform information as an aid to painting figures. Where apart from all the individual ospreys would you look? Hoping to find a collected publication or such like that provides information on pre and post Bardin uniforms (1806-1813 central Europe), if such a thing exists. I am aware of the http://centjours.mont-saint-jean.com/ website for the hundred days campaign but any other suggestion heartily welcomed.

Cheers

Tony.

One of the best sources is Rousselot's "Napoleon's Army 1790-1815" it is 60 euros but well worth it.

I guess it depends on what theatre or campaign you are looking for. Just searching  for french napoleonic uniforms in google gives plenty of material. Pinterest and NYPL are also excellent sources. If you are looking for books I like the works of Mollo and Haythornwaite.

Mont St. Jean has lots of information for the 1815 campaign.
