Ok, so this might be a little off topic, but I wanted to find out if anyone knows of a good vendor I can buy 1800's garb from? Since all my garb is from the 1500s, I haven't got a clue where to start looking for other time periods. Suggestions?

Thanks,

Joe B
Please go ahead and clear your throats... the hack has arrived!

I've been very pleased with everything I've bought from Jas. Townsend.

ETA:
Whoops--sorry!  Wrong century!  :-\  I saw "1800s" and thought "Eighteenth Century."  Clearly I should stop posting before I've eaten breakfast! LOL

My ABSLOUTE Favorite if your looking for Civil War or Victorian for women is www.ckhall.com. Of course www.recollections.com is nice but not H/A here is another http://www.corinthias.net/corinthias_main.htm

But then again your looking for male. So it really depends on what you are looking for then. I'd do a search for SASS (Single Action Shooter Society) They are an old west reenactment group.

Some links for other mens 1800 era clothing http://www.gentlemansemporium.com/index.php

Here is a link with many links http://www.lhsmn.org/links/sutlers.html

For the Civil War period, I love http://www.abrahamslady.com/

Are you looking for a specific period or just any point in the 1800's in general?
