This style is often black or dark blue in colour and consists of a standing collar buttoned down from top to bottom. The buttons are usually embossed with the school emblem. Often male students will give their second jacket button to the girl they first fall in love with as a keepsake at graduation. The Gakuran style is primarily derived from European army uniform designs.
Unlike other countries, Japanese high schoolers have seasonal uniforms; one for summer and one for winter. The main reason is very clear: Japan is extremely hot in the summer and extremely cold in winter, making two types of uniforms absolutely essential. For girls, the uniform always consists of a skirt — but in winter, thicker and higher socks are utilized. In Fall when it begins to get colder, sweaters and cardigans are worn in lieu of a blazer.
Then in Winter, all students wear their full uniforms to keep warm. The uniforms are always styled in the same colors as the school, which is most often blue; pale creams are also commonplace. Now that you know all the variations involved, you can go forth confidently in your search for the perfect Japanese school uniform!

Yahoo Japan Auctions - It's an auction site, so stock is limited to what individual sellers choose to list. It's also usually dependent on you winning the item unless it's a Buy It Now type listing.
However, you can find all sorts of seifuku items that aren't sold in regular stores. Often times, you can also buy the seifuku in a complete set, rather than buying piece by piece, which can save money, but lowers the potential for choosing your own coordinates.
Be advised that a large percentage of listings are for cosplay items and are not authentic seifuku. Also, it might be harder to find your specific size. A couple others brought to my attention by darkmint : Wing Used Uniform Shop - This store specializes in selling pre-owned yes, used uniforms that have been decommissioned and discontinued from stores. So, nearly everything in this store is vintage.
Most of the uniforms here are sold in complete sets and are one-of-a-kind. Rather expensive, but you are buying the whole kit-and-caboodle right there. They mostly have sailor fuku and blazer-type uniforms, and there are really some very unique pieces that you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.
One interesting feature is that they list their seifuku by the prefecture that they were originally worn in. The buying policy is pretty strict, though. You must be a female over 18, or the parent of a student, in order to purchase these uniforms- they use identification verification.
Because of these restrictions, the use of a deputy service might be limited. If you're in Japan and fit the requirements for purchase , check out their shop in Nishi-Shinjuku, between a Mos Burger and a Karaoke place. Seifuku Shop Matenrow - Like Wing, this shop also specializes in used and vintage uniforms. Also like Wing, it only sells to qualified buyers with the same specifications- only girls and over are allowed to buy [except for parents] , and in addition to having to show identification, you have to register with the website as well this could be troublesome if you're using a deputy service.
This shop also has some very unique stock that you can only find with authentic vintage items. This store also mostly sells its stock as complete sets, but it does have some items that you can buy separately as well. Most of it's stock is sailor fuku, blazer uniforms, and, interestingly, jumpers, which I haven't seen much of. Brands are limited, as their source is likely consignment items, but I did spot some Hanae Mori and East Boy items.
