I am directing "A Few Good Men" in October & will need both Navy & Marine dress uniforms & fatigues. Willing to rent or borrow & pay shipping. Can anyone help? Limited budget.

We did A Few Good Men at our theatre and rented the costumes, at a good cost
I am working on getting you the company and website now. They ship anywhere and the uniforms look great. Keep checking back here and as soon as I find it, I will post it. The info in the Production Bible, I just don't have it readily in hand.

I'll check with our costume committee, and see what we have- I'm thinking we have scads of army, but I'm not sure about Navy and Marine. You may be better off to go with a commercial shop that really has all the sizes in the number you will need for this production.

What's the name of your theater group? Do you have a website? Would love to see pictures of your production too.

Sorry it took me so long. We used DC Theatrics out of Buffalo, NY.
Their website is simply www.costume.com Don't let the website fool you, their costumes were great, affordable to rent and they ship anywhere as our show went up in Texas. |

Thanks so much! This is exactly what I was looking for. I've emailed them to secure our dates. What did you guys do for shoes/boots?

Our actors provided their own shoes if they could and the theatre had some for those who could not. We founds that the local Army/Navy Surplus stores were quite invaluable whne it came to combat boots. As for the dress uniforms' shoes, you just want something that you can get a high polish on.
