2010: The Year We Make Contact – US flight suits

[Lorum Ipsum]

Hey, does anyone know what brand and type of flight suit was used for Dr Floyd's (Roy Scheider), Dr Chandra's (Bob Balaban) and Dr Curnow's (John Lithgow) flight suits while they were on board the Leonov in 2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984)..?

They seem to have more zipped pockets than most similar looking flight suits I've seen.

Many thanks.

ive always wanted to do one of these suits. Also reminds me of Bishop's in Aliens.

Yeah, I can see that. Although the details, zips etc on Bishop's are quite different though

Found a bit more information... According to this auction site, it sold in 2012, but there's a good description...

(MGM, 1984) Gray-blue jumpsuit worn by Roy Scheider as "Dr. Heywood Floyd" in the Sci-Fi film 2010. Consisting of a one-piece, brushed cotton jumpsuit with flap cargo pockets on front of thighs and zippered front closure, pockets on the chest, arms right leg and ankles. Grommeted velcro closure on back. Velcro side belts cinch form-fitted waist.

And then this appears to have been a back-up flight suit...

But I've also found this website...so I'm going to have a good rummage around here!

Sure doesn't look like any mass production suit I've ever seen. It's almost certainly production designed and made.
