This is a custom clothing accessory for a toy minifigure, representing a French Army Modèle 1915 “Poilu” Greatcoat with field equipment from the World War I era.
This single accessory represents the full upper uniform of a French infantryman. The greatcoat, or capote in French, is depicted in its famous horizon blue (bleu horizon) color. This specific shade of light blue-grey was adopted by the French Army in 1915 to replace the highly visible dark blue and red uniforms used at the start of the war, providing better camouflage in the bleak landscape of the trenches. The accessory includes printing for a full set of field gear worn over the greatcoat, including the brown leather belt and ammunition pouches on the front, and a haversack (musette) and canteen on the back. This uniform is iconic of the common French soldier of WWI, informally known as the “Poilu,” and became a symbol of their resilience and suffering on the Western Front.
