It depends how much you get into the whole reenactment gig. A good book about it (about the process, not a "How To") is Confederates in the Attic.

I have friends who are into Rev War reenacting; they have a weaver who makes "regulation" material, and then make their own clothing. But, if you look in the back of most War-oriented magazines, you'll see suttlers (people who provide uniforms etc) listed.
