The same post should answer stephen210's question (it's green). Sorry to those of you waiting for me to photograph my G4-B, I'll do it ASAP.

Thanks for that info :thumbsup
Would you happen to know about Lambert's jacket aswell? I've been looking but not come across anything close.

Lambert's vest appears to be made from the upper part of a G-4B flight suit.

Sorry for any confusion, i meant this jacket...

Ahh. I'm not sure anyone's asked about that one before. That photo isn't too helpful.

I suppose it could be a modified Mk3 or G4-B. Then again it may have been made from scratch.

We need more photos to be certain (he says - stating the obvious!).

 

[DivineHeresy]

Not the best pic, i know, lol. I did a quick search just to show which one i meant.
I will have a look and see if i can find any better.

 

[DivineHeresy]

These were on the first page, they show the detail a little better.

That looks like a cold weather Undergarment. Maybe Canadian. I've seen that type of thing in surplus stores.

 

[stephen210]

Yeah.. Like a Amy jacket zip in liner..

 

[DivineHeresy]

Thanks guys :thumbsup
Will start looking for similar things to that next then i think.

OK, I finally got around to taking some photos of my G4-B flightsuit (as worn pretty much unmodified by Ripley).

The second photo shows the compression lacing inside the leg (as used on the Nostromo jackets) the third, the lacing on the back (as used on the front of Dallas's jacket).

here's the real colour of the crew jacket. As you can see its not brown but whats called "purple Taupe" or a variant on that family of colours, hopes this help people who are dye-ing.

When you say "real colour" what do you mean? Have you seen/do you have a screen used one?

This jacket is mine. Its an RAF MK3 pre 1965 as in before NATO standardisation and the green ones. Its the exact same as Kane's and Dallas. This jacket is not dyed, it was a very very lucky find. i 'll post another of the label etc.....

Comparsion to newer ones, check out the differences in sleeve pocket and then look at Dallas's one also velcro on cuffs. On mine its wider like Dallas'. It not that I have one from the film but I'm 99.99% sure this is the type they used, i don't believe the dye-ing theory anymore, I used to though.

 

[Bill Froog]

You may be correct in assuming that they used jackets which were already that colour, but we don't know that for certain. It's a good theory though.
I wonder which service wears that colour?

I can't see any difference in sleeve pockets or cuffs really. trying to focus on that label made my eyes hurt!
Funnily enough, the colour I dyed my (green) one to, is quite similar.
