flight suit help

[Wes R]

I want to make a vault suit and have found a few flightsuits online. I was wondering if anyone knew of pretty cheap places to get them. They're usually 40-50.00 and i'm not sure of the sizing since they're one piece. i wear a 3x shirt (can probably get away with 2x) and 50w 30 long pants but they never go that way for these. The local army navy has nothing worth what they are charging though. Any advice or ideas would be appreciated. i was going to do coveralls but the local place that had them cheap is out of business. Figures because they had them for 15.00. i have an old pair that have really seen better days and aren't very accurate.

Since you have a surplus store near you I'd go try on a few of their flightsuits for sizing and then I'd find a place to buy the flight suit from.

I've found one place that's selling flight suits starting at $30. http://www.militaryclothing.com/IBS/SimpleCat/Shelf/ASP/Hierarchy/0E.html

That's about the best that I could find doing a quick search. The key to finding cheap flight suits is to avoid the Nomex ones and get the cotton ones, they'll be much cheaper and cooler to wear too.

I appreciate it. Yeah that's probably as cheap as they get. Well even if i try on my old coveralls the sizing should be the same (assuming i didn't remove the tag back then).

Cobalt.. as someone that is about the same size.. The coveralls are usually sized according to your chest measurement.. one place to find budget friendly coveralls is Red Kap Work Clothes, Uniforms, & Coveralls

Very cool. I'll check them out. I dug up my old coveralls but there was a mouse living in them so i gotta wash them before i try them on lol.
