Standard Edwardian era period clothing..... which will vary enormously depending upon what you're looking into. Full formal daywear and the likes for First Class passengers.... turn of the century workwear for steerage....

Well, we already know that you can buy the expensive Titanic shoes from Allen Edmonds. I suppose Titanic isn't like Indiana Jones, where every piece of clothing and all the props can be found.

One Too Many
I was able to replicate the uniform of Capt. E J Smith with some effort and expense. The hat used an embroidered peak from Wydean Weaving
http://www.wyedean.com/
the hat made, using this visor, by Michael Janke in Germany; the buttons from Waterbury, the coat made by The Quartermaster Shop, Kimball, MI.

The hardest were the medals. I lucked into a Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve Officer's Decoration,Edward VII cypher, at Liverpool Medals. It was a replacement/restrike from 1915 and reasonably priced. I have not seen an original for sale. The Transport Medal with South Africa bar was a repro.
I note that these Captain Smith hats are avalable on ebay for a song, now. Oh well, timing is everything. I had mine just after the movie finished its first run.
The Quartermaster Shop can (and just did for me) make 1890's-1910's era 4 button sack suits and jackets. Thnk Mr. Bates on Downton Abbey or any working man of the era's Sunday-Go-To-Meeting suit.
If your pockets are deep, contact Stan Boyle at History in the Making. None better.

of course, Old Town in the UK makes nice, expensive stuff too:

Over a decade later, I still have the shoes. They have held up.
