Uniform Patterns

[LordJohnRoxton]

Does anybody know of a source for sewing patterns for WWI and WWII uniforms? Certainly reproductions can be ordered, but I find myself with a bit of time on my hands.

No one I know of. You may want to check the quartermaster museum.

A good suggestion! I shall do that!

Hi

The only ones I know about are from the Civil War and earlier. I've never looked for WW2 type men's clothing at a fabric store.

Depending on which uniform you are copying, the pattern won't be the only problem. Try finding certain buttons in the proper color and style. And the right color/weave cloth.
I spent years searching for Italian and French general's and marshal's buttons. I am still looking for British Kings Crown Field Marshal buttons.
