I recommend that if you get these uniforms, that you or whoever may be wearing them, wear it right. Get a haircut, find out how to properly attach chevrons on the collar, wear name tapes right, have the boots laced correctly, trousers bloused in the correct fashion and make sure that when wearing this uniform, represent the marine corps as a marine would. Reason being, that uniform has to be earned by marines. They earn it, wear it, die in it, its an honor to be able to wear that uniform.

Looky what I found using "rent authentic marine uniform".

You do realize that if you do not have your actor meeting uniform and personal grooming standards you could face federal charges. Each branch takes GREAT exception to their uniforms or personnel being disrespected. Congress has agreed and provided some rather stiff penalties for doing such.

TITLE 18--CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE



                             PART I--CRIMES



                CHAPTER 33--EMBLEMS, INSIGNIA, AND NAMES



Sec. 702. Uniform of armed forces and Public Health Service

    Whoever, in any place within the jurisdiction of the United States

or in the Canal Zone, without authority, wears the uniform or a

distinctive part thereof or anything similar to a distinctive part of

the uniform of any of the armed forces of the United States, Public

Health Service or any auxiliary of such, shall be fined under this title

or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

There are people that have anything a production, commercial or stage may need. I have a friend that rents old safes he has acquired at job sites.

PS Actors engaged in thier work are exempt from "impersenation" as long as they only wear the uniform on the 'set" and with all rank, medals, tabs and badges displayed according to that branches regulations. Historical accuracy counts as well.

Just for you to know its illegal for someone to impersonate a soldier/Marine. Thats why you see actors that wear a uniform have it messed up in some way. Before you do this talk to a Marine for help.
