go to a costume storeā€¦ usually they have backstock like in basements and stuff they usually have people who sell them stuff and know what those people have. I am not talking about a cheesy costume store for kids only. There should be store where you are that rents ā€¦ like renaissance outfits that are in the hundreds of dollars and have authentic retro clothes too. My store near me is phenom in this area, so i know these things šŸ™‚ Hopefully this helps a littleā€¦ ---

What about op shops and thrift stores in your area? Usually they have heaps of vintage clothes. ---

My buddy, Flip, picks up cheap vintage clothing all the time. He usually hits oddity stores (one place called Aardvarkā€™s, for instance) or the Salvation Army. ---

Shame you donā€™t live in Texasā€¦Austin has more retro shops than you can shake a stick at, and I find stuff like that 'round here all the damn time. šŸ™‚ When what Iā€™m really looking for is 40s stuff (or really anything remotely dignified), that can get aggravating. Though I kinda like those fringey jacketsā€¦We have entire stores hereabouts that are packed to the gills with shtuff from the 70s. ---
