Many companies that sell clothing to Civil War living historians also carry clothing for
the period that you are interested in.  Be careful though, some of these businesses
don't put very much research into the authenticity of their garments.  I've never
purchased anything from the following businesses, but they appear to sell well
researched clothing.  You might also want to check with the Association for Living
History, Farm and Agricultural Museums.  They publish a replica source list that is
available for purchase.
