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?
