Anyone know where I can get a 1940`s uniform or outfit?

Anyone know where I can get a 1940`s uniform or outfit?

Male or female, buy or rent. Preferably genuine looking.

The fancy dress style ones on ebay are really tacky and cheap looking.

    Army surplus stores, militaria shops, theatrical costumes? If you are after uniform the basic designs would not have changed much for a couple of decades so you needn't be restricted to uniform issued in the 1940s.
    If you are anywhere near Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire Anchor Supplies do loads of army surplus.

    we stock a fair bit of fancy dress but not much like this, Smiffys do a range of 1940's style products the Land Girl was really popular last year
    A company called Angels costumes are fantastic they supply a lot of TV/film costumes
