Wig
I got Amphigory's Taylor in #4. I chose this one because it was cheap and also for its versatility (I also use it for my Castiel and Killian Jones cosplays). It does the job and I'm pleased with it (it's also remarkably comfortable), but if you want a wig that you can style into Bucky's perfectly parted and gelled hairstyle, you should probably do a little more hunting.
Pants
I got some dark brown cargo pants at the thrift store. This is probably the easiest piece of this cosplay, honestly, there always seem to be cargos at thrift stores.
Boots
I just wore the brown combat boots I already had. Bucky's boots are technically a bit more heavy-duty than mine, but combat boots are combat boots. Another fairly easy piece.
Pouch Belt
The nice thing about steampunk being such a thing is that you can find cheap yet decent quality costume pouch belts quite easily. I got this one off eBay.
Bandolier
You have a few options with this part. I got a plain brown belt from the thrift store and just wore it across my chest instead of like a normal belt. However, if you have a bigger budget and/or want to go a bit fancier, there are a decent number of bandoliers available on Amazon. Lots of different options, historical replicas and all that jazz. Bucky's bandolier is pretty basic so that narrows your choices (a lot of them have those little pocket things for shotgun shells), but I feel it's only fair to let you know that there are actual bandoliers out there if you're willing to spend a bit of money on them.
Gun and Holster
So this isn't a particularly obvious part of the costume, it took me a while to even notice that Bucky had a holster on his bandolier (I honestly thought it was just an aesthetic thing for the longest time). If you're doing a belt for your bandolier, this part actually has a second function as it weighs down the belt and keeps it from doing awkward bubbly things.
For the gun, I just used one of the handguns from Black Widow. The holster was also part of another costume (normally it holds my sword for Killian), but it's a very simple and versatile piece so it works for holding many kinds of weapons. It's also absurdly cheap and easy to make. The tutorial I used seems to have vanished, but I've still got the pattern. Once I figure out a way to let you guys download the pattern, I'll make a little summary of the instructions from memory. :)
Coat
Now for the hard part, aka the entire reason this cosplay took me so long to make. I got my Howling Commandos patch from PeachyKiki, however her shop is no longer stocked. There are a few options on Etsy, or you can look elsewhere.
When I first was trying to make this cosplay, I honestly thought I'd be able to find a dark blue, waist length, double-breasted peacoat. Eventually I realized that this was far too specific an item, so I'd have to make it myself. I used this pattern for mine (view B) and modified it a bit, eliminating the belt and using buttons instead of zippers. I should warn you, though, this pattern was rather a pain. It was extremely difficult (my family friend, a veteran seamstress, had trouble helping me out) and didn't always make sense. I soldiered through, but unless you are feeling masochistic, you may want to find a different pattern. There are a decent number of similar jacket patterns that can be modified like I did with mine and that will hopefully not make you want to cry. If you're up to the task, however, this one does make a pretty gorgeous jacket.
And there you have it! Except for the coat, this is a pretty easy cosplay, mostly because it doesn't have a whole lot of pieces and many things can be thrifted. And now I leave you with the final result:
Happy cosplaying!
