Flight Suit
U.S. Military Flight Suits were
used in the original movies. The original type is now out of
production. However there are close alternatives
out there.
Flightsuit information taken
from
gbfans.com.
Nomex CWU 27/P
- "Desert Tan"
The CWU-27/P flight suit, currently issued to
U.S. Air Force pilots, is the most accurate option available for an
off-the-rack suit. Made from a synthetic fire-resistant material
called Nomex, this suit has the same pocket configuration as those
used in both films (minus the side-entry pockets). For those wishing
to make the suit more screen-accurate, the black metal zippers can
easily be sanded down to reveal the brass underneath. While Nomex
suits can cost up to $200.00 brand new, used or "defective" suits can
be found on eBay or military surplus stores anywhere from $20.00 -
$40.00.
Also available in the U.K. from:
PremierSurplus.co.uk
in limited sizes and
eBay.com from various U.S. sellers.
Gibson & Barnes CWU-27/P
Flight Suit
Gibson & Barnes, formerly Flightsuits, Ltd., was the company that
produced both the khaki and dark grey uniforms worn in Ghostbusters
II. They offer both regular Nomex flight suits and custom-made
suits for those who require a more screen-accurate uniform (details
such as zippers, pocket configuration, and colour). However, these
suits are generally very expensive, especially if having a custom suit
made. Choose from either Nomex or Sentinel Flightsuits here:
http://www.gibson-barnes.com.
Tru-Spec CWU-27/P Flight Suit
The Tru-Spec flight suit, made of a polyester/cotton twill, is a
civilian-produced uniform that is very similar to its Nomex
counterpart. While this suit lacks both the knife and lap pockets, it
does have the side-entry pockets and brass zippers. These suits offer
slightly more ventilation than the Nomex suits and are readily
available online or at surplus stores for about $35.00.www.armysurplusforless.com.
Rothco - Poly/Cotton "Air
Force Style" khaki flight suit.
There are also polyester/cotton suits made by other companies that are
generally of lesser quality- one of the more prominent ones that pop
up online constantly are made by Rothco. While these can work for a
decent uniform, the zippers are merely plastic, and the material is a
bit thinner, as well as missing the storm flap and having a very
yellowish tint. To get a khaki colour truer to the film, dyeing is
required. Many online merchants use a generic photo to represent the
uniform but the colour and other details are way different in person.
These will cost about the same as a Tru-Spec, but will be of a lesser
quality. Sometimes the online merchant will neglect to list the
manufacturer, so be sure before purchasing that you know what brand of
poly/cotton suit you are getting.
Fox Air Force Coverall
-
Fox Outdoor produces a flight suit that is a substantial improvement
over the Rothco suit; the khaki suits have less yellow, and the chest
pockets do not sit as low. These suits, while not as well-made as the
Nomex or Tru-Spec, have both the lap and side-entry pockets and are
readily available online at
gbfans.com or at surplus stores for about $35.00 US.
