Delivery Uniform?

[Franz20]

I'm in a bit of a pickle. I've been tasked by a local business to find a uniform for their delivery drivers.

They've made it clear that they want the Ike style delivery jackets, matching slacks and visor cap. (They've said to use Ralph Cramden's uniform as a good example).

The problem,

I cannot buy original uniforms as I'd need 3-4 of them.

My question is does anyone reproduce such a uniform? I know Dickies has something similar but they don't have the visor-style hat they are looking for.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it.

Dickies makes a 1950's truck driver jacket as part of their Dickies 1922 line:

Dikies are great. I looked for this kind of jacket for months and eventually settled on Eagle Work Clothes Ike jacket, unlined for summer wear here. I use it as a casual jacket.

Just curious, what is their business line that requires retro work wear?

Try Quartermaster; they do police and security uniforms and have police-style visor hats as well.

Thank you all for the replies. It's for a local company (I believe food or something), they have a few vintage trucks they are using for promotion. They need the vintage get ups. The truck is dark blue. Their logo is a red oval with white lettering.

Now some questions about the uniforms and the truck, should they match? What colors would work? (I was looking at the spruce green dickies) sorta like the old coca cola drivers.

Any thoughts?

I'm thinking I'd like to avoid the "Blue Maytag" repair man look. I think black would confuse them for police/security or something like that.

These are available wholesale, but it looks like a minimum order is 300 pieces. You might try to find out who they sell to.

or this one here. It's costume quality, but look like it retails for under $15.
