I would try to help but I don't know the outfit you're talking about. Do you have a reference pic we could see?

Also, from what I can see, the material needs to be rather stiff to hold it's shape. Wool might do that, cotton won't. But if you use wool and it rains, you smell like wet dog (my problem with my JROTC uniform). Covered cardboard might work for the shoulder pieces, but the main piece you can't do that with.
I don't know. There's probably a better fabric for that kind of thing. I just don't know about it.

well it doesn thave to be stif material, you can use the steabilzer with with ironing it on or soem kind of starch or something like that. but a nice stiff fabric could be good too.
