Where are you located? The Drama Dept. at Stanford University has lots of military stuff. They also used to rent costumes. At least, they would probably let you go and see them. Sharon C.

This is my first time posting anything to the list, though I've been lurking quite a while. I'm designing the costumes for my high school's production of Our Country's Good, by Timberlake Wertenbaker. If you don't know it--it's about the British convicts and soldiers sent to found a penal colony in Australia in 1789. There are several marines in the play--from rank of 2nd lieutenant to major, a navy midshipman, and the navy captain governor, an aborigine (not sure yet if this character will be played by a man or woman, which is a pain for designing the costume), several convict men, and five convict women. I was wondering if anybody here knew of any resources for researching the clothes of any of these sorts of people, or just happened to know stuff themselves. Much thanks!
