[h-cost] Vintage police uniform
A co-worker of my mother-in-law has recently bought and renovated a 1929 studebaker and would like to have a matching vintage uniform to go with it. Does anyone have a source for online vintage police uniforms? Or, barring that, a good place for research? Ultimately I don't want to have to make it because I don't really have the time or set-up for it (my sewing supplies are all in storage in another state), but if I can at least give some pointers... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! --Rachel ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Have you tried your local city archives? Your local police may also have their own museum/archives you could check out. Good luck!

You'll never get away with it, security cameras can see under those old brims and, besides, the different car alone is a dead give away, -C.

The city matters I think. My 1st image involved a double breasted tunic (coat) and an 8 point cap unless you want Keystone Kops. Heres a pic from Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KeystoneKops.jpg Looks almost like a regular frock coat... and Hatcrafters has the helmut I think... Yep, #124 http://www.hatcrafters.com/page2.htm It's the gear that makes the costume. -Original Message- From: stils...@netspace.net.au To: Historical Costume h-cost...@indra.com Sent: Wed, Mar 31, 2010 12:31 am Subject: Re: [h-cost] Vintage police uniform A co-worker of my mother-in-law has recently bought and renovated a 1929 studebaker and would like to have a matching vintage uniform to go with it.

Since the Keystone Kops are a little early for 1929, here are some pics just from Google. http://www.haddontwphistoricalsociety.org/photos--police1929.jpg (Yikesvery storm trooper! But some motorcycle cops) http://www.importliquidators.com/Old_Police_1929.jpg http://lincoln.ne.gov/city/police/about/1930-2.jpg http://www.fairlawnpd.com/history/images_history/Photo_FLPD1930.jpg (you might want to get up with the poster asking about jodhpurs!) http://www.ameshistoricalsociety.org/exhibits/civic/1930_patrol_car.jpg http://www.maineancestry.com/chownfamily/images/ron%20chown%20police%20uniform.jpg Have fun!!! -Original Message- From: stils...@netspace.net.au To: Historical Costume h-cost...@indra.com Sent: Wed, Mar 31, 2010 12:31 am Subject: Re: [h-cost] Vintage police uniform A co-worker of my mother-in-law has recently bought and renovated a 1929 studebaker and would like to have a matching vintage uniform to go with it.
