Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I've been asked to officiate at a Cowboy wedding this June. This is going to be a dressy affair, but authentic. I just started looking on-line for an appropriate frock coat and accoutrements; like those here: https://www.quartermastershop.com/images/1422db3_dbfrk3btn_w_vest_enlgmt.gif Any suggestions for alternative sites/suppliers? I want to find a good quality get-up that I can use for other events, not a "costume quality" throw-away. Gracias. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Try:http://www.westernemporium.com/western.php or http://www.gentlemansemporium.com/gentlemans.php I've not bought from them, but I know of a few people who have and they were quite satisfied. Hmmm....looking at both of them, they may be two different iterations of the same store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reckless Roy Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 There are a number of sites, as well as ebay, that sell high-quality retired rental tuxedo and formal clothes very inexpensively. I bought a tuxedo coat that looks very similar to reproduction frock coats for less than $30. I added a nice vest, a point collar shirt, a cravat tie, and pair of slacks, and I think it looks as good as the outfits the major cowboy shooting suppliers offer. Plus, it all cost me less than 100 bucks, and that includes a pair of boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Old-time cowboys and a friend of mine had/have a "buryin' suit. Has two uses...for buryin' a friend...or gettin' buried in yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I had a local seamstress make mine. It was about 1/3 the cost of one off the rack. Get a recommendation from a dry cleaning establishment on a good seamstress/tailor... Dry cleaners keep list for repairing clothes. The local folks will custom fit it to you.
