You might try replicators:

I think that they can do just about any uniform that you'd want.
Barring that or any like company attempting to make your Polish uniform, you might want to have a competent tailor do it. Even if the directions are in polish, the numbers used for measurment could be easily understood.
Just a couple of questions to better guide you:
Is the pattern a new made/ commercial pattern of a vintage uniform or is it an original WWII era pattern?
Is it a full scale pattern or one that needs to be scaled up to produce?

Sewing uniforms or garments of any type is kind of like connect the dots and anyone with an eye for detail and an understanding of how a garment goes together will be able to still make it despite the language barrier.

Emil- you might want to contact Rob at Gmaxtailoring.com, he does a lot of custom work. He's also in Canada, might help working things out easier.
