Sources for Revolutionary War Uniforms

The firms listed below can provide uniforms, reenactor clothes, accessories and so on for FLSSAR members.  A number of compatriots have successfully traded with certain of these outfits and they are starred.  However, neither the quality or authenticity can be guaranteed by the Brigade Office.  A check with experienced Color Guard members should be helpful.  These listings will be upgraded periodically.  This is not an endorsement; our chapter has made purchases from the first three.
