Pierre has a wonderful supply of French blue canvas work
shirts, they are identical to 1930-40's
production, even though these are from the 1960-70's,
and are new. Pierre also stocks excellent pants
and leather coats for very reasonable prices. All of these are made in
France, and are from the 40's.
Currently, we have no supplier of women's clothing, but
period items may be found in local vintage
clothing or costume shops. Referring to authentic photos will help in building
an accurate impression.
Our advice is to stay away from second hand stores, they
are useful, and sometimes really nice items can
be found in them, but they are not the place to find the items you will
need.
French Army uniform parts can be found, and are acceptable.
The Vintage Co. is closed
as of August 2003, contact Pierre now if you need something!
