Please help - I CANNOT find a place that sells late 1800s style clergy outfits

[Rabrrrrrr]

I need a costume for a late 1800s style clergy outfit with the hat and the clerical collar that's those two white ribbony things that come down from the throat - I don't know what they're called.

I've searched the shit out of google and all those (#*&$*&#$%*($%$^)(Z%*(&#*$&$*%&$*&%$*#*&$% websites that say "Search here for stores that sell what you're looking for!" most of which just point to some other #*(&$*(#$& website that says "search here for a store that sells what you're looking for!!"

and frakking so on.

ARGH!!!

:nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke:

Seems like a simple goddamn thing to find, but I sure as shit can't do it.

Please help.

I can't even find a fucking picture of what I'm fucking looking for, but it's for a Protestant-style American/Anglican minister, with the wide brimmed circular hat, and white ribbony thingy for the clerical collar.

Thanks!

12. Like this maybe?

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. Ah ha! That's the kind of clerical collar I'm looking for, and the outfit is right

except for the hat - that's wrong.

Where did you find that?

[hippywife]

19. I think my search term in google was

"vintage clerical costume" but I can't remember for sure. I know I had to scroll through a whole lotta crap to find it.

This was the website that pic came from, maybe you can launch a search from there:

I just now found this while searching again at http://www.vintageshirt.co.uk:



Below are google results for clerical hats but in the very first of my links above, it is an author's website and she seems to indicate that all of his costume is spot on 1800's down to his spectacle frames.

Good luck! :hi:

But I see it "excludes hat"...maybe they will know where you can get one.

Keep trying by Googling "VICARS"
