Up close with a costume from Ghostbusters Frozen Empire

I was lucky enough to see these costumes. I'm trying to work out the fabric. It's definitely not ripstop, but could be a unique fabric made for the movie. Which happens a lot. Thoughts?

That is definitely ripstop.

On the GB Engineering suiit there is a prop on the belt that was IDed as a RS Digital Thermometer

Since the actual item is long out of stock. (Made in 2001)I was able to locate a reasonable substitution below:

What do you think, and where could I find a pouch to put it on my belt?

That is definitely ripstop.

If it is it's not kite material ripstop. It's cotton ripstop, right?

Yes. It could be either 100% cotton ripstop or it could be 50%-50% nylon-cotton blend or 65%-35% polyester-cotton blend. All 3 types are common.

Nyco Ripstop – Khaki – 65″

The roughly 50/50 blend of nylon and cotton fibers makes this fabric very hard wearing and durable, but comfortable enough to wear all day. It has a high tread count and crisp feel, but with a softer hand than the poly/cotton version. When you combine this with it's rich colors and excellent...
