I really need an icon for this crap...
Feb. 2nd, 2009 02:15 pmDoing some research for my Werewolf character and for clothing references for related artwork. Also, the styles might be fitting for the IP&S Alternate Universe at least post-2007, as the north does slip more into a wild west setting after the region establishes a bit more. And plus, Enrico Gruen in a duster is badass, but I digress. :P Two birds with one stone, so I'm happy.
Although, a little problem I've noticed is that some series fall back onto what would be stereotypically "western" in the musical sense and not realistic for the materials, fashion and needs of the clothing at that time. In light of this, I've been amusing myself with these sites:
Wild West Mercantile

I don't think all of it would fit the time period, but there's some things of value there.

Love the selection of accessories. Also check out the wedding section they have there.
Those are the two that are the easiest to get around. Some nifty stuff in there.
