I personally buy my own pants from the mall, the uniform vendor pants never fit me correctly despite being measured. For me there's always way too much material and the groin is cut way too low, if they had a semi slim cut they'd be fine but ymmv. For the cooler months I'd highly recommend the artic sweater if you're planning on being based in the Midwest, it's a little pricey but definetly worth the money. IIRC I had to buy the hat because I ordered the blazer so you might be out of luck on that one and I definetly second the other poster about getting it sized correctly, it already looks funny on some people and it only looks worse when it's too big. The leather jacket with the thinsulate liner is pricey, but it's your only other option for when it's really cold out short of the trench coat. Hopefully that clears up some of the uniform questions.
I can also vouche for A Cut Above. The shirts are awesome, and the pants and shirts that OO supplies just fit so poorly. If you live in Denver you can goto their store and try stuff on.
And just a minor correction, you don't need to buy the hat if you get the blazer. If you buy the trench coat you are required to have the hat.
