davis_square | Clothing donations needed for costume project (Reply)

hi all!

i'm the director/producer and general cat herder for a local band and performance troupe. we're working on costumes for our project, and i thought it would be worth asking the community at large if they could help out. if you can dig through your old clothes and ask your friends and family to do the same, we'd greatly appreciate it. we're mostly looking for men's clothing in any and all sizes.

if things are pretty worn out or beat up, all the better. if these can be subjected to our design whims, awesome! however if you have something that you think might work, but want it untouched (and returned), then we can work with that too. please get in touch to arrange pick up or drop off.

here's what we're looking for:

military and marching band uniforms,
jackets (suit/tuxedo/frock coat/uniforms/etc),
vests,
dress pants and shirts,
hats (bowlers/top hats/helmets/etc)
suspenders,
ties (all kinds),
sashes,
cummerbunds,
patches or pins (weird designs, insignias and such)

thanks!
