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,

There should be some great sites there.
I've been very pleased with everything I've bought from Jas. Townsend (http://jas-townsend.com/index.php).

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 (http://www.ckhall.com). Of course www.recollections.com (http://www.recollections.com) is nice but not H/A here is another http://www.corinthias.net/corinthias_main.htm (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.

Ditto!
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?
Lady Kathleen of Olmstead, a forum member, does garbing from all historical periods. You can send her a renmail.
I second abrahamslady.com and jas.townsend; also.....check ebay!!
http://thegracefullady.com/ is highly recommended for historically accurate Civil War era clothing.
Excellent link Heather. The clothing is gorgeous.
