jetlag flares

Hi, I have a costume rental shop in Melbourne Australia. our favourite collection of men's flares were made by Jetlag Vintage. I purchased them many years ago. These amazing Flares have been going strong all this time but now are looking a bit tired. Does anyone know if Jetlag are still in existence? or if any members have any pairs of JETLAG VINTAGE brand flares they are willing to sell me? or any recommendations for similar high quality rentable men's flares that I can purchase? Thanks in advance!

Costume shop for sale

Date: August 1, 2024 Final Curtain Call for: Costumes for All Occasions

I am an established costume shop (over 30 years), located in Washington Court House Ohio. ( South Central Ohio) I am retiring at almost 72 years old and am trying to find another buyer or group that would be interested in buying out my privately owned inventory. I am mainly a medium to high end rental costume shop (last count was over 10,000 costumes with accessories). I also carry retail and boutique quality accessories such as Makeup, hosiery, gloves, jewelry, hats, etc. I also have a good selection of historical children's costumes for plays and school events such as "Living Wax Museums", but most of my inventory is adult sizes I have used in more than 100 different Musicals and Plays, as well as 50 or more Mascot style full head costumes, Santas, Easter Bunnies, Disney Princesses and cartoon characters. Some are shop constructed, or from reputable costume manufacturers like Rubies, Morris, etc. I am also selling all displays, Props and 2 different Cinderella carriages we have used on stage. If you could pass on this information to your members it would be greatly appreciated. I have a FaceBook page for more information where thousands of photos are stored:

Not pictured is the vast storage of hundreds of yards of fabrics, notions, beading, trims, zippers, ribbons, feathers, patterns, etc. Everything is for sale as I am listing the building for sale so the inventory has to be moved as soon as possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Did this communication help to sell your Shop?

I am trying to sell my costume shop as well. I am over 70 years old and it's time to hang the apron up. Was just wondering if this posting helped you sell your Costume shop? Did you sell your shop yet? and did you get what you wanted for the inventory? Wishing you the best. Thank you for reading this. Myckki

Coins for uniform

Have a gorgeous Harding Uniform & Regalia- with lots of coins of 2/2.2/2.5/3 cm plain silver coins that are oxidized. I'd like to replace the coins as close to original as I can and prevent damaging the material. Commercial sites seem to be limited in size. where would I be able to find coins in various sizes? Thank you. Lindamhot@yahoo.com
