Missy Clark as was being discussed here is one source.
There are plenty of other places making 1740's era clothing but most of them cut a lot of corners. The best rout to go is to make it your self or have some one who is utterly obsessed with the period make you one. My wife and I actually have our own business making English Civil War clothing through Rev War era clothing and we do it correctly. Hand sewing, natural dyes when possible, correct cut, correct fit, naturally dyed linen or wool thread.
My problem is that there is an exceptionally long wait for garments from me.
If you are in a hurry and dont care about the little details and absolute authenticity here are a few other sources.
