I dont really dig on too many of the military looks but I like that jacket. It would never work for me but if you can pull it off I say do it.

I might be wrong but that looks very similar to a WWI-era tunic.

Perhaps google WWI re-enactment groups and ask where they source their gear?

eBay is your friend. I snagged a Swedish WW2 gray woolen tunic/jacket that was pretty much NOS, in pristine shape for $17 or so

Nope, but I bought them at a store in Shibuya (there is an Alfredo Bannister store in Harjuku, basically the next hood over). I love the shoes, one of my favorite pairs, Ill probably buy another pair or two this summer.

I dig the mao suits because I think they look quite radical, though I couldn't pull it off. Otherwise, unless it has some other significance, anything that's too fake-military-style [or camoflage print for that matter] is not something I go for.

Looks costumey to me. If you're asking WW2 reenactors where they get their clothes, it's time to take a step back and tone it down a touch.
