Make them. Much cheaper. Use your imagination. There is no reason to go out and spend a ton of money. You can find an old military helmet and use other materials to make the point of the hat...spool of thread with the end of a curtain rod that comes to a point. Get a plain black coat and paint the buttons gold and add fringe and make the medals out of cardboard and paint them.

See...not hard to do just go by the picture and come up with ways to make what you need.

Try eBay, or eBay stores....they usually have some. Also, Google "military replicas". If all else fails, ask around to see if there is a military collector who has one that they would be willing to let you use.

They're fairly expensive and hard to find, but the cheapest one I found is at the website below.
