It is entirely up to the discretion of the area manager and each stations manager or postmaster to decide whether to issue uniforms to Transitional Employees (TE's). If they decide to do so the TE gets an "allowance" that can be spent with any approved USPS uniform supply company. The amount is based upon the time the TE has worked for the post office. For each quarter (90 days) the TE will be issued an allowance of $74.50.
Companies like Postal Uniform Discounters stock a full line of approved USPS uniforms and will provide uniforms to TE's as long as the TE has a USPS authorization letter for the uniforms.

Yes, you can. There is a variety of sites offering different styles of uniforms. Licensed postal uniform vendors MUST be provided with proof that you are a USPS employee and that the type of uniforms that you want to purchase are appropriate for your "craft" in the post office. There are several companies selling online, and if they are caught not being ultra careful about who they sell to, not only will they lose their license to sell postal uniforms, they may also face prosecution.
Go to the USPS web site. You want publication 604a, which shows all of the non-denominated stamps issued by the US Postal Service.
