[kilroy9thss]

[ottoss]

I would say if ur new to everything, and dont have a few 1000 to spend.
check out hessen
www.hessenantique.com/
they sale strum uniforms for cheap.

Actually, I spoke to Ed at Lost Battalions last week and they are in negotiations with someone who might be looking to buy the company from him. They would keep all staff on hand, so their quality of product would not be affected in any way.

Also, he still has stock on hand which he is selling. He'll also do one-off custom jobs like officer's uniforms and movie costumes. Expect to pay pretty hefty prices for the officer's uniforms, however. He just sold a custom piece for $600.

I saw the website up and assumed it was still open. I'll keep it on for the time bieng. Thanks for the tip kilroy9thss I put it up.
