Gang, Right after the new year I’m going to be ordering one of these flightsuits and want some feedback if I’ve got all the right options picked. Here’s what I have so far: Sentinel Resolute P/C long sleeve in Dark Grey (GB2 style) Brass zippers Zipper chest pockets Sleeve pocket Pleated action back Hook & loop sleeve tabs Hook & loop waist tabs Two-way front zipper Knife pocket No Leg zippers (When tucked into my jump boots I find the zippers can be painful) No [nametag](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/gb1-name-tag-patch) loop on uniform Left vertical thigh pocket Right horizontal thigh pocket Side entry zippers Zippered leg pockets According to their size chart I fall right between a 42R and 44R so I was going to go with a 44R since I believe they’re supposed to be one size larger than your usual. Am I missing something? ---

Yeah, I was gonna take a sharpie to the zipper lining but now that I know it bothers you so much I’ll probably just leave it the way it is 😉 ---

Looks like its time for So Cal GB2 patches, i wanna do a Steel City GB2 patch, but i don’t wanna do just a couple. ---

I’ve already tried to plan out a So-Cal GB2 just for fun but the design is too clustered. I’m cool with what we have. ---

GB2 suit looks superb! Wonder what colour the GB3 suits will be if it ever gets made!!! ---

I just saw this now. Did you ever get your questions answered? If you’re doing a custom suit you’ll want to go and get your body measured properly. Go to a local tailor or suit shop and bring the sizing chart on page one of this thread with you. Also if you aren’t going to get the leg zippers I suggest getting the rear leg Velcro tabs and you don’t want the flap on the arm p/p pocket. ---

Guys, about the white zipper tape. Amy at G&B just informed me that the natural zipper with brass teeth is what’s being ordered, which is why we’re seeing the white zipper tape. Is there any other options besides this? I’d like to avoid the white tape on my dark grey suit. ---

Pretty sure that’s the trade off for having brass zippers. You can just hit it with a black sharpie and it’ll look fine. ---

> [@Vincenzo330](#): > > Pretty sure that’s the trade off for having brass zippers. You can just hit it with a black sharpie and it’ll look fine. I see. I’m not entirely concerned that my flightsuit is SA, so I might go with black or silver zippers to avoid the white tape and a sharpie. I’m not sold on the brass zippers anyway. ---

Has any of those that ordered tried the modification that Jarius is considering with the zipper movement? ---

The though has crossed my mind but I’d like to see a few of the suits once they’re finished before I attempt that. Kind2311 and Ghostbusterpm both got in on the run so I’ll get to see them up close before I decide. ---

Fair enough. I am of the same thought. I want to see one done before rushing in ---
