eBay!

Got my first one from ebay. I prefer the NOMEX ones. If you dont mind the poly/cotton blend then you can get one a bit cheaper. I think http://www.patriotsurplus.com ship to the UK as well as a few other places.

Or just keep an eye around the for sale forums, but its more than likely going to be from the US

Shipping quite pricey though… Also doesnt have large white ones… but you could get black and paint instead of dye

Some Decathlon stores stock these:

Thanks so much :slight_smile:

cheers loly2kn2 really appreciate it :cool:

eBay would be your best place in my opinion.

I recently won a Nomex suit for alot less than the rrp. The rrp is around $170.

The original suits had brass zippers. If you look on eBay sometimes you can find older flightsuits that looks more accurate with more accurate zippers.

It all depends on how accurate you wanna be. Ok I’m gonna have to stop saying that word now!

You could also try email these guys:

they have a sale on at the moment. You might find something cheap.

Also…

depending on how accurate you want your suit to be… you might want to dye it. RIT pearl grey seems to be the most popular type of dye used. It’s available on eBay.

These are suits I’ve dyed with RIT:

(these first two suits are poly/cotton)

I got a black one myself, but they sell Khaki ones here as well. I love my suit! This place also ships really fast to.

I bought my flightsuits from Armysurplusforless.com, i have three soon to be four! I find these are quite accurate (check my profile pictures) but there are quite a few different sites to pick from so all depends on yourself & what price your williing to pay
