Two items that would be concerns if going to the effort of making decent reproductions are the dye being color fast and potentially having the material pre-washed to set the color and reduce the risk of shrinkage.
Certainly not game stoppers but someone having a known size sample of material that could be photographed and measured prior to being washed a few times for comparison would at least let people know how best to clean the new garments. I tend to hand wash and hang dry reproductions anyway. But some people might toss them in the regular washer and dryer which could result in major disappointment. Members of 6th AARR in Texas are still interested the denim and heavier tank suits (even if unlined).
