We are often asked how to dress in a more authentic vintage style and where we get our clothing and accessories. So, we wanted to post a few informal lists of places we enjoy shopping:

Please note that these are generalized recommendations primarily for American civilian impressions or even every day wear. Additional research is needed as not every company sells exclusively WWII era items. Also please note that some vendors are best reached via Instagram or Facebook.
If you would like us to add your store to our list, please write info@allheelsonduty.com, please include your shop URL or specialty for consideration.
More great lists in the coming weeks!!
