The Musée Massey in Tarbes, a small village in the French Pyrenees, holds a collection of 17,000 hussar-related items alongside 120 mannequins dressed in magnificently restored period suits. All told, they trace 400 years of evolving hussar style, which continues to resonate in art, literature and on runways to this day.
With its roots in Hungarian folklore, the hussar look includes a dolman – a short, tailored jacket with tight sleeves – adorned with decorative braiding, 18 rows of wool or metal-thread frogging and a generous helping of 90 buttons.
ALL CUSTOM MADE SIZES ARE AVAILABLE.
