TIE pilot Jumpsuit pattern ??????

[Bountyhunter Niko]

Hi there.

Does anyone have a pattern for the TIE fighter pilot Jumpsuit? I know someone who can make me one on the cheap.

I already have a real flight suit - but would like to go something 99% screen accurate.

Thanx , Niko.

Thanx - Nice

I was just over on the JRS site. All the people that have brought the Costumebay TIE jumpsuit have been very happy with it. Only let down seems to be the thickness of the material.

If I got one made - what material would I buy ?

Cheers , Niko.

Well the costumebay suit is cheap enough you could always take one to your seamstress and get them to replicate it in a heavier cloth for you.

Loanstars suit is amazingly accurate if that's what you're after im not sure if he makes them on an ad hoc basis or just in runs though.

The same pattern that was used for the TIE fighter pilot was also used for the Rebel pilots, Imp and Rebel techs, AT-AT and AT-ST drivers, etc.
A pattern/guide for converting a flight suit for any of those costumes should also apply for the TIE fighter pilot.
