Why
We're Here:
A substantial portion of the film and
television watching public has come to expect a
high standard in historical costuming. The high
quality of the BBC's costume dramas imported to
America has created a visually discriminating
viewing public. The old Hollywood way of "if it
looks old-timey, it will do" doesn't cut it
anymore.
Historical Wardrobe,
Ltd. is a specialist company focusing on providing
historically accurate costuming, consulting and
wardrobe management services for documentary and
feature films and living history presentations.
Services we provide
include:
- Rental of accurate
reproduction clothing from a variety of
periods
- Production
wardrobe coordination
& staffing
- Historic wardrobe
research & design, and commissioning of new
reproductions working with the top specialist
seamstresses & tailors for the relevant
era.
- Working with
reenactor extras to ensure the gear they are
wearing is accurate and providing replacement
items when needed.
- Historically
accurate hairstyling and headwear.
Our members encompass
living historians, both military and civilian,
covering a wide range of eras, from the earliest
Colonial times to the Vietnam War. These living
historians demand the highest standards in accuracy
for their own period clothing, and this insistence
on quality is reflected in the items we have
available for rental.
We are affiliated with
Historical Entertainment, LLC which provides a
broad range of services: casting, reenactment
coordination, stunts & equestrian services,
historic props & location scouting. Click here
