Recreating a WWII summer khaki uniform that is sharp/fitted like a modern USMC uniform?

[BigBrother]

Ok, a bit unorthodox here, but hear me out!

 

I decided I really wanted a fairly accurate khaki summer uniform for my dance events and performances, and you all helped me a lot on this thread here:

I ended up deciding to go with What Price Glory when events open back up.

 

Now, I had tacitly resigned myself (or was basically whole) with the fact that this uniform was NOT fitted or "dress" much, and was much more a working uniform in fit and polish.

 

However, I recently saw this dance performance:

and decided I really, really wanted something that was, albeit historically less accurate, very sharp- and fitted-looking like those there, akin to a modern USMC service uniform.

 

(Hell, maybe I'll get both!)

 

Anyway, I was wondering if you could help me steer me because some parts of this seem easy to do, some not so much.

 

The shirt I assume I could literally just get as a USMC service one from a uniform supply store.

 

It's the matching pants and tie that could be an issue. I realize they didn't always exactly match back then but hey, I'm going for a polished "romanticized" version here. It just wouldn't look right if the color were off from the shirt. The tie is not as strict a requirement for me- I could try different vendors and anyway I'm just as interested in the dark ones from the era (so match stops being an issue, obviously!)

 

As I see it I only have a handful of options:

 

- Go with What Price Glory and have a tailor take it in to a more "glamorized"/sharp USMC-style fit. Risks: the material might still be rather heavy/utility khaki so the ultimate look won't be achieved.

- The Dickie's route is no good. I've gotten their stuff, it doesn't sit well at all.

- Look simply for some modern clothier's goods that might match, but this is a huge unknown.

- Go the actual modern USMC uniform route, but I suspect there are no khaki pants in any of the configurations these days.

 

Ideas? Thanks all!!!!!

UPDATE!

 

A bit of research/Googling might have produced the (quite simple) answer:

 

The Navy does indeed still do the khaki/khaki combo for their service uniform today. They just don't have long sleeve shirts (I believe.) So all I need do is purchase the Navy pants:

And combine them with the USMC shirt:

And I think I'm in business (assuming the materials are a match).

 

This way I get that nice crisp polyester look (I know, I know, the purists amongst you are groaning :).)

 

Thanks all! (And ff course chime in with any other details, information, or thoughts!)
