Hi,
I made mine from a Space Camp suit :
2OO1: exhibit.org - Exhibitions
It is close enough to make illusion, while the color is more "blue", the zipper not dark, and the neck collar a little different ! But it would be easy to cut it as what we can see in the movie.

That looks like a standard CWU-27/P flight suit, although I've never seen one in that color. The real thing only comes in a handful of colors and is made from flame-resistant Nomex, but several vendors sell variations of this suit in various colors and fabrics -- just make sure the zipper and pocket arrangements are the same, as these can vary a bit, too. Perhaps you could find a used navy or royal blue flight suit and bleach it down? I don't know much about how these suits respond to bleaching.
If money is no object, try Gibson and Barnes. They offer a "Sentinel" uniform in a variety of colors made of a cotton/poly blend (more comfortable than Nomex), and can even make custom uniforms in any fabric you like.

I think I'm gonna try and make one. The one in the picture above seems to be powder-blue, but in these shots of Floyd, Chandra, and Curnow the suits seem either Royal or Navy. Perhaps the producers made several different ones for the movie? I dunno.

TheBryanScout, Please post you progress. I have wanted to have a go at one of these myself. Also thought about the Russian flightsuit. Have had the patches for years.
