Are you looking for "new" or genuine old? You might try eBay at least, and try surfing the net in general. I thought thru this website there were some links, or maybe it was www.80sflashback.com.
Look up Commander Salamander; I don't know if they even really exist anymore and certainly don't know if they've retained any 80s kind of stuff, but you could try.
Hey, I still have an outfit in my closet - in fact, it's on my Gallery pix, sans skirt (which is just like the jacket design and long). I could sell you....well, naah, I think I'll keep it for now! :D

The "Salvation Army" stores, "Goodwill" stores, "Fleamarkets" and yard/garage sales are THE best places for original and cheap vintage 1980's stuff.

That's a good idea. And you can target them easily, whereas specialty stores are harder to find AND verify what they have. 2_tone, hit all these shops in your region periodically, and check out where the regular flea markets are in your area. The yard sales will be harder to keep up w/, but you can search near your place anyway pretty easily. Or at least, keep your eyes open on your Sat/Sun drives!

;D I like you idea. Do a search on 80's fashion. There is alot of stuff out there. ;D Good luck and have fun. Remember people that pick on other people are just insecure with themselves.

I LIVE for 80s clothes (those and 50s clothes). Ebay and some online sites offer 80s stuff. So do vintage shops and thrift stores. AND if you are as nuts about 80s clothes as I am, its pretty easy to find 80s patterns (Butterick and Vogue, etc..) at fabric stores..esp 80s style party dresses and prom dresses. If you know a good seamstress (like I do) you can have the 80s fashions of your dreams made just for you!

Hmm I tried several thrift stores..nothin..nothing at all.Maybe Fort WOrth is lame.

You know what they say: "Hold on to what you have" because it could be in style again. Look at big earrings from the 80's era: they are already back in.
