That will still need some work but it's a good base. I went with a set of black coveralls and modded them. Either way you would have to order 2 sets, one to wear and the other to cut up for material to use as pockets.

I think as a whole (Legion-wise, not just IOC), we're slowly moving away from flightsuits and more toward coveralls.

I have to admit I am having one heck of a time finding the right gray colour of overall/ jumpsuit anything here in Germany. One man's gray is definitely this chick's blue...


one of the links posted in a different thread led me to a US site for dickies I think but it was some fire retardant suit for nearly 100.00 US and that's a bit out of my price range.

So anyone have any EU friendly suggestions for the right coloured gray tech suits...?

So Crimson do you suggest I look for a coverall instead of a jump suit to be on the safe side.

Also how can i be sure its the correct weave

It's not that they are necessarily wrong, it will just come down to have you have to mod it to be correct.

The weave isn't nearly as important. The pocket details are usually more noticeable.

Flightsuits aren't prohibited explicitly, so if that's all you have or can get, it should be fine -- I've recently approved a couple of new ICs for the Detachment who are wearing flightsuits.

Coveralls are being recommended because it's easier to modify them by adding pockets. The flightsuit, for example, has several zippered pockets and details that would have to be removed or covered up creatively if you decide to go that route.

Members are encouraged to move in that direction if it's feasible and if they're up to the challenge. Again, not saying "NO!!!" at all. Just that if it's possible to get closer to accurate, why not start there instead, which was the mentality behind the CB rank badge and belt -- it costs just as much to build something 10x more accurate than buying those items, so why not go for it? :)
