3. "Napoleon Living" from Emperial Nation

In a clothing genre that tends to be dominated by digitally-printed monochrome designs, it's nice to see a new Napoleon t-shirt that boasts a soft touch print featuring "layers of shadow effects and gold foil highlights giving it a ghostly vibe", and a "signature epaulet in the lower right corner" (not on the shoulder, oddly enough).

Available in pink or white, this is a classy design from Emperial Nation, who specialise in historically-inspired clothing covering periods including the French Revolution, the Wild West and Ottoman Empire, to name but a few.

A large design on the front of the t-shirt is based on Andrea Appiani's 1805 portrait of the Emperor in good health, and decked out in some pretty robust finery, my favourite part of which is some kind of bandolier made of Imperial Eagles.

Napoleon Living is currently retailing for $41, down 9% on its original price. International shipping costs aren't listed on the site, but I've emailed Emperial to find out more. Details when I get them.

UPDATE: With incredible speed, Emperial Nation have got back to me to say the cost of delivery to the Netherlands is $25 for up to three shirts. Might have to buy one now...
