Yeah those boots were alright before more details were seen, but I ended buying these to replace them. http://www.jdwilliams.com/view-all-footwear/cushion-walk-winter-boots-e-fit/invt/fm143fb They only seem to have women's sizes available, sorry big footed boys. ;) I'm still using my old...

Nope, the "metal" bits are completely removable and replaceable, I used hardware similar to Chicago screws to assemble everything so they would be able to be switched out when I upgrade or whatever.

Thanks, Paul! Those pieces were actually sintra, cut and sanded with a dremel and shaped with a heat gun then I used two colors of Rub N Buff (silver and pewter) for the finish. Much of the belt buckle finish turned more silvery during the dye bath, but it rusted the buckles on the leg strap...

It's closer to about 2 3/4 inches in width, but it works really well especially for the collar.

After experimenting with a few methods (and quickly realizing I have zero patience for teeeeeny little pleat making) I used this http://strapcrafts.com/collections/3-inch-75mm-wide-elastic/products/3-inch-75mm-wide-ruffled-elastic-waistband-elastic-colored-elastic which worked super well as long...

Thanks! :D I ended up using a nice deep orange 9 ounce cotton duck from Joann since Westex/Milliken would never return any inquires about their Indura cotton fabric yardage sales. So I went with the next best thing. The orange of the sleeve trim and the fabric of the suit both seem to match up...

I'm going to get much better pics taken when I'm off on Monday, but this was the flightsuit yesterday when it was 99% finished. I did the last little bits like adding the "pen loops", hemming the legs, and adding hook and eye closures to the collar today and it's a wrap unless new things are...

For my belt I dyed it first with silver grey iDye, but the results ended up being that the belt was too dark and the other strappy pieces were barely changed. I used Dupli Color Upholstery and Vinyl spray paint from the nearest auto supply store and it ended up doing the trick nicely. For the...

Orrrrrr maybe based on vintage CO2 cylinders? That Mae West isn't going to inflate itself. http://www.armslist.com/posts/497251/st-louis-missouri-misc-for-sale--vintage-crossman-600--22-cal-semi-auto-pistol http://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2010/02/refillable-12-gram-co2-cartridges/

The ends remind me of some type of spark plug.

Going by the points you mentioned and that front yolk stitching it looks to be the closest ready-made item I have seen so far. And it gives me an idea of what fabric to use...maybe.

The chaps idea/leg pockets reminded me of this.

Great detective work on the hose! :D I love seeing all the little details being tracked down and shared.

I was thinking the same, Frank. That or gas mask hose.

Yeah Frank, between the flightsuit and the "accessories" this color thing is worse than that black/blue dress. :p
