You will find that, since 9/11, uniforms are a little harder to get. Especially for someone overseas. You can get the uniforms easy enough, but the patches, t-shirts, etc will probably be fairly difficult if not impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B the EMT Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) Unfortunately, poster Steve Owens has the right idea. After 9-11, FDNY work uniforms are only available from our quartermaster, and after presenting proper documentation that you are authorized to be in the uniform. T-Shirts, pins, badges, and individual patches might be available from private parties, or on E-Bay. I must mention an incident happened after 9-11. Some guy bought, on line, an FDNY "Turnout" coat, set a fire designed to give off a lot of smoke, and in the confusion in the building from the alarm, kidnapped a woman and raped her repeatedly over several days before she escaped him, and went to the NYPD. The Law Enforcement Officers caught up with the guy a few days later, arrested and extradited him back to New York City, where, late last year, he was convicted and put in prison. However... There are stores that sell commemorative stuff that is notable as close but not obviously actual uniform items. Some of the items are worn in addition to assigned uniform, like some "workshirts", a type of sweatshirt. Such can be obtained on line at http://www.firezonestore.org/.

I am not surprised. Buy your stuff on Ebay if you must but don't use it for evil, mmKay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
