Napoleon was very subtle and understated obviously (info in ALT) #historicalclothing #napoleon #burnoose #cloak #hood #fabulous

Napoleon’s burnous is a red wool cloak with a hood, richly decorated with gold embroidery and lined with yellow silk damask patterned in floral motifs. Inspired by traditional North African garments, it reflects the style he adopted during the French Egyptian campaign (1798–1801). The cloak’s luxurious materials and craftsmanship highlight Napoleon’s taste for dramatic, symbolic attire that reinforced his image as a leader bridging cultures. After his defeat at Waterloo in 1815, the cloak was taken from his carriage and later entered the Royal Collection, where it remains a notable artifact of his military campaigns and personal style.
