The pattern could be tough, as well as the accessories. Hat probably won't be that difficult, I just assumed a modified USAF pattern dress hat would do the trick. The anime design (in the OP) is much more trimmed down from his game design, where he's carrying all sorts of things befitting a tank commander.

I did a bit of research into WWII era uniforms and can't find anything similar to his jacket, with the closest being obviously German M40 tunics, though the shoulder boards on the Gallian Militia uniform sticks out a fair bit further, and the darker bits on the underside of the arm and armpit actually look like an entirely different, ribbed material. There's also the matter of the concept art showing no discernible front opening for the jacket, but I assume nobody will pitch a fit over a concealed zipper down the center chest line (the concept art has a crease there but it stops maybe 6" above the bottom).

Assuming I can't find any existing uniforms with a similar design, would it be reasonable to create a pattern from scratch? Is that even a thing?
