IMA-USA (International Military Antiques): for Victorian uniforms, pith helmets, period replica weapons, and accessories!  One stop shopping!

INDYGEAR.COM: A website detailing the minutiæ of replicating the adventure-centric fashion sense of iconic screen character Indiana Jones from the Raiders of the Lost Ark film franchise.

CLUB OBI WAN: An online discussion forum devoted to the topic of the gear and equipment carried by fictional film character Indiana Jones and his contemporaries.

JAS-TOWNSEND:  A large portion of people these days are half blind and don’t wear contacts.  Nothing ruins your period looks more than modern square eyeglasses.  Jas-Townsend has your back with Turn-of-the-Last Century spectacles!  Mr. Sable has worn these on period television shows such as “Hell on Wheels”, Discovery’s “Klondike”, and the theatrical feature “Forsaken” – they’re plenty authentic and you can have an eyeglass house grind your old lenses to fit these frames – so you can SEE and still be period authentic!  Plus the cable arms keep them from falling off your sweaty, adventuring face on an expedition.

THE FEDORA LOUNGE: An online discussion forum devoted to head wear and fashions with an emphasis on 1850s – 1950s styles. This link is to their 255+ page adventure gear thread.

WHAT PRICE GLORY: Militaria & reproduction period WWI uniforms and kit from the Old Commonwealth.  They also carry Canadian reproductions covering 1899 to the end of WWI. And… reasonable prices!

THE GENTLEMAN’S EMPORIUM: carries a wide variety of Victorian outfits and accessories for Gentlemen AND Ladies, as well as an assortment of period western wear.

WILD WEST MERCANTILE: A great place for boots, waistcoats, and shirts of the late Victorian era, both mens and ladies wear.

VILLAGE HAT SHOP: Pith helmets. Authentic materials and styles. Reasonable prices. ‘Nuff said!

MAGNOLI CLOTHIERS: Very high end reproductions of vintage-styled wear, dress wear, and uniform pieces, as well as essential accessories like straps, belts, and bags.  It ain’t cheap, but it’s authentic.

THE J. PETERMAN COMPANY: Yes, it’s a real company. Quirky, off-beat, and generally awesome assortment of clothing and accessories with a decidedly vintage flair for Gentlemen and Ladies.
