Very likely. I don't think there's a similar collection of garments to be found anywhere. When I was at the local hat shop, discussing getting my hat fitted, the attendant mentioned that her younger brother was getting into steampunk (and had asked her for a similar hat), and I told her to send him to you.

We are station in the high desert near Barstow and I am trying to represent the Posts early history days.
