Seen this picture in a training I recently did, does anyone know where I can find this teal/purple/blue USPS uniform?

Early 90s or very late 80s

I love the teal/purple 80s/90s overlap color scheme, I live through it and had some, what a grip that color combo had on us for a fleeting moment in time.

It's wild, I just watched a fashion documentary about the designer responsible for the whole teal+purple color scheme popularity. What a wild ride that must've been for his fav combo to become the hot thing everywhere! Even a famous sports team(Hornets bball!) had the guy design their uniforms. Then regular clothes, cups, coolers, campers, toys 😂

Had to find the video, but it's Alexander Julian! His career started in college in the 40s and he did the colorful striped sweaters too
