Finding the suit and other materials
Tip For: Flightsuit
Written By:

go to flight suites they run about 35 bucks...
I would also order a sew on logo off of ebay, if you dont already have one... they run about 10 bucks a piece,
Chemical Gloves, pick them up at a hardware store for about $7 try to get the mat black, not the shiny black, go to one of the discount stores, I found a pair for a buck.
Elbow Pads, these are actually Volleyball Knee Pads... just do a search on yahoo for them. Some sporting goods retailers like Dunhams or Sports Authority also carry them. these go for about $15
Find a black piece of cloth, or go to a place like Jo Anne Fabrics and pick one up, the stiffer the better, needs to be fairly thin... gets some red thread, you have to be handy with sewing here, if not find someone else who is... outline the letters you would like to put on the name tag with the red thread, then go back and fill it in with the sewing machine, this takes an incredibly long time, but if it is done right, it is more then worth it.
Combat Boots- Many military suppliers like the one above sells issued GI boots, or basically they are used and cleaned up to basically look like new, except to pay about $40 used, (an excelent shape) or $70+ new.
Pistol Belt- The grey pistol belt is extremley hard to find these days, I work for Williams Gun Site and Out Fitters, they had none in stuck, nor did they have a supplier who carried them... I would settle for the black, make sure it is a nylon belt, in the movie they have the kind you twist to latch, not the Marine style that just clips together
Good Luck finding the supplies...

Fifthrider - Sun Sep 8, 2002 11:30 PM PSD I agree with the above ( especially on the Volleyball pads being the only "right ones" ) but I was looking for answers that were not here. Some people say it's a grey pistol belt on the uniform, others claim it's a faded white. Mine is tan/grey.

Ectodude - Tue Jan 8, 2002 4:07 PM PSD You know, for elbow pads, you could use carpenter knee pads. they run for about 12 bucks. for the uniform, if you dont mind them being used, look on ebay for a deal. for boots, payless had black steeltoe for bout 15 bucks. other than that, this helps
