Stage Clothing, where from?

[charic]

New band trying to work on it's image ready for our next photoshoot and first gig. Just wondered you folks manage to find your stage clothing?

Oasis market, Birmingham.

All my stage clobber is to be found in my wardrobe .

My current band don't really do image as such. You'd be hard pressed to distinguish them from someone who was on the weekly supermarket shop. :-/

I on the other hand have exceptional taste and dress accordingly. Unless it's a band with a unique dress image, most stuff is readily available on the high st, markets, online etc

That's the creepiest selection of clothes I have ever seen.

I strongly suggest you don't try searching stagewear on the same site...

I loved that place when it was red, yellow and black.

Back in the late 80s/early 90s, each month, I used to pop over to Brum (from Cov) and spend a small fortune in Oasis, Swordfish, Tempest, the record shop that was in a subway near the city hall and the one towards Aston Uni...

All of the above is good advice. Whatever the band's image you should be able to find stuff from high street, markets, charity shops.

Asda and That Ebay.

It's a bit more difficult when you're going for a post-apocalyptic style vibe but we're probably going to buy as close as we can and then alter them

Ah, you'll be looking at the "road-worn" series of clothing then...

[amnesia]

If you are looking for 'rock' clothes...and your budget will stretch then I recommend Wornstar in the US. You can get their kit in the UK, but none of the one-off gear they do, and its bloody expensive too.

I've had a denim jacket modified by Tina (Custom Creations by Tina)...see the link below...she is ace. She aged it, fitted the patches I sourced, replaced panels with leather and camo material...proper rock idiot stuff!

There are loads of places online that will do custom stagewear. It all depends on budget and timeframe.

Fred Perry, Levis, DMs, sorted.

This sort of thing?

[PaulWarning]

our guitarist got some stuff off Ebay from china, sizing is a bit of a lottery though, usually have to order a size or 2 bigger, but it's cheap

[Number6]

I wear tie dye t-shirts and a lab coat.

Pair of scissors, needle and thread, scraps of leather, material, cogs, padlocks, chains... the world's yer lobster.

I wouldn't recommend playing the fireman's ball when you're sporting thr full "leather 'n' chains" look, though... got the **** taken out of us good and proper.

We don't care where it comes from, so long as it's crazed...
Here's the Weeds complete with Sister Bez - 2nd guitarist has a Bishop's dog collar:



The cardinal and Pope outfits were left over from a Utah Saints gig from when our drummer was with them - came from a theatrical outfitters.

It used to be worse... This is a band I was in from about 1989:



Wedding dress was about £3 from Oxfam - went beautifully with a black 2" stripe from hairline to chin!

You're not wearing road leathers underneath that - you should!
