B Authentic Description

1940's dress firm B Authentic the way for NYE parties

A FIRM that almost went out of business two years ago is enjoying a nostalgia boom.

And staff at B Authentic, hidden away in an anonymous warehouse on a Milnsbridge industrial estate, are now gearing up for a busy New Year.

The company is expecting a boom in fancy dress hire, despite the recession.

But it is the company’s huge hoard of genuine 1940s uniforms that is the big attraction in this Aladdin’s cave.

B Authentic, which has a huge range of genuine vintage uniforms, was founded 40 years ago in Cleckheaton by Nora Snowden.

Mrs Snowden was able to amass a collection of British, Soviet, American and German military uniforms from World War II, when such kit was flooding the market and was available for a pittance.

When Mrs Snowden sold the business two years ago to former model and TV extra John Whitworth, such gear had become considerably more desirable.

Johns Taking it easy
I reached the grand age of 70 last August, and decided now is the time to take things a little easier and semi retire.
Over the next few months you can come along during my normal opening hours at B-authentic and purchase anything from my range of costumes & accessories. Later in the year any excess stock will be sold in an online auction. I am still doing daily hire.
... So if you are a member of the public, trader, re-enactor or theatre / drama company, or anyone interested in buying from me please contact me John on 07803 753955
