In the case of Civil War reenactors, most will have uniforms made using replicas of the same weight cloth (heavy-ass wool) and either make their own or purchase the replica insignia and accoutrements. The closer the uniform is to a replica, the more expensive it is.
As for the WWII reenactors, surplus (at least for British and US uniforms) turns up; German uniforms are harder to come by, though surplus ex-East German uniform fills in a pinch.
Serious reenactors will even follow their side's grooming standards down to the haircuts.
