Well, this should be pretty amazing. Indy’s work is always great. Even the 501 Legion approves of his work.
This looks cool, definitely have to follow this because I’d be interested in a flight suit or two!
Exciting!
I have a Tenth Doctor suit and a few neckties from Magnoli, and his work is top notch. I’m excited to see what his flight suits look like.
I’ve contacted him and have offered up any info he needs from the screen used jumpsuits I have from each film. Pantone guide inbound to me to help with color selection.
These are going to be the most accurate suits out there, and I’m excited to own one! Thanks for the heads up Aaron!
Thank you for being so generous, Zed.
I had preordered one just the night before I had read your comment on Facebook, offering reference material.
It’s a really exiting project!
I’m looking forward to seeing it progress.
Just out of curiosity do you know which part of the original GB suit has become discoloured?
I’ve heard some say it’s the parts which are darker and others say that it’s the lighter parts.
Are there any spots on the discoloured sections that show how it looked originally, on a part that wasn’t exposed to light for example?
The lighter, tan hue is the discolored portion. There are spots on those sections where you can see the original gray-ish color, absolutely.
Thanks for clearing that up ![]()
Is there a way to compare the original color with a comparison to, lets say a GF fans suit, or eBay nomex suit? Just to see the actual difference with what we all have access to?
–Sorry for the tangent on this thread–
Not sure how long this has been up on their site, but I found this in the “Other Garments” section…

Naturally, I placed my order instantly.
So excited for this… especially since the price is cheaper than a brand-new Nomex suit, and hopefully more accurate.
I’ll probably order all three once they get a shipping date and samples.. The color seems hard. Do you match the color to something that’s 35 years old, Match it to how it looked in 1984, or how it appeared washed out in the movie? I’m willing to give them some wiggle room on the color as long as everything else is correct.
Thanks to ZedR for sharing all the pics, definitely adds to the community. The pics should probably be archived in the equipment section
It’s a difficult one.
The only way to be spot on to the costumes from the time of production would be if there was a still of one along with a pantone guide.
Although I’ve never seen such an image.
Honestly though I’m sure it’ll be fairly close, if the unaffected areas on the faded sections are close in colour to that of the unfaded sections, it’s a safe assumption to think that today’s colour wouldn’t be too far off of what it originally was.
Especially if those unnafected areas are in places that wouldn’t have been exposed to as much direct light, such as under the collar or inside the suit.

Yes, under the collar, storm flap, Inside hip pockets and a few other sections from the faded areas match the non-faded portions. Ive been able to examine a few other examples in private collections and mine seems to match, so think it’s as close as we’re going to get.
That’s great to hear ![]()
It never ceases to amaze me that we’re still finding things out about these costumes and props after all this time.
And it’ll finally put an end to the age old argument about the suits colour.
Judging from the comparison pics it seems it was neither completely khaki or completely gray so I guess both sides of the debate were partially correct.
I’ve got the Pantone book - Looks something ever -so -slightly darker than 401U is a match for the GB1 suit.
GB2 has an odd purple tint to the khaki - somewhere around 5235U to my eye
Ill get some pics

To my eye it’s always looked like the GB2 suits have almost a hint of a slight salmon hue to them.
Indy Magnoli just posted this pic of a fabric sample over on the RPF

I wonder if they’ll be using movie accurate no-ghost logos. That would tip me in the favor of buying, especially the original GB uniform. I’m really glad the company that made the GBII uniforms still exists though. So if you buy a II version, are they going to plop the yellow hose connector from the original movie on it? That makes me hesitant.
You’d think so given the reference material that they have access to.
It’s easy enough to swap them out for a Todd Cook or calgary ghostbusters patch if they aren’t but judging by the attention to detail so far I’m cautiously optimistic that it’ll be as spot on as possible.
