I know the vast majority of this thread has been toward his flight suit but anyone have more information on his opening outfit? Mostly the pants and shirt because the boots have already been IDed
Let’s start with the jacket. I have the Indy Magnoli jacket. While I feel that the color is a little darker than it should be (he’s probably addressed this by now) I am absolutely in love with this jacket. It will be tailor made to you and you will seriously wear this often as an every day piece. I never make it back to the house without receiving at least one complement on it.

The greeblies and buckles I got from JJ on the RPF. I highly recommend letting him paint and weather them as he does a great job! Also, the buckle thing that goes on the strap is closed in the back. Some people have been taking their jacket to a tailor to have it attached, don’t do that. Take a dremmel to the back of it and gut a groove just wide enough to fit the strap through sideways. Fits nice and snug.

Danny on the RPF is also refining the design on his jacket at almost half the price. While his last run is a little less accurate in cut, the color is way closer and can be easily made to look just right with some weathering. (NOTE: he will also be offering a set of metal greeblies and buckles to go with it on his next run)

Now for the boots. The actual screen used boots are called “well 2 Black” from a company called Po-Zu. The price tag will be a little jarring at first but just like the jacket, they are incredibly comfortable and also get compliments on the street quite often.

These pants are the most accurate in design (particularly waist height) but you will have to do some dye work to get the color just right.

The shirt is actually an Indian kurta. It is pretty hard to find these in a close cut to what we need, especially without some crazy embroidery all over the front. Luckily, after WAY to much time digging around, I found a maker on ETSY that had something very close. I sent her an email and she was extremely accommodating about lowering the neckline for me. The color I chose was “natural linen.” After seeing the film, I believe that their “soft yellow” color is a little more accurate.

The buckle I also found on ETSY. Ask them NOT to apply the protective layer. Leave it in a drawer for a few days and it will weather itself perfectly.

For the belt, I took kind op a weird approach. It was harder than I thought it would be to find a belt that had the thickness, color, and weathering I wanted. I ended up finding the perfect one but I had to saw off the existing buckle so i could replace it with my buckle. To attach the new buckle, I took some tin snips to the connecter and slid it through. Then I re-attached it with a soldering iron.

Hope this helps and feel free to ask any further questions!
