Uniform supply list
Tip For: Flightsuit
Written By:

I've just gathered some information and links about all the items you need. I've tried to include as many options as possible. If you have better prices or better places be sure to include the title and URL in your ratings. Thanks.
1. The Jumpsuit(khaki or Dark Gray)
The Flightsuits used in the movies were manufactured by a company in Sand Diego using material supplied by the studios, however, you can order your own from just about in surplus store. The Flightsuits used were about one size larger then normal and were Nomex, the cheapest I've seen is $30.00.

2. The Pistol Belt(web light gray)
This pistol belt that was used was an old style army web pistol belt. The newer models have snap connections on the front and only two holes per row, this can be used as an alternative but doesnt look very accurate. You might have some luck finding these at flea markets but they DO NOT come in grey.

3. Black Neoprene Chemical Gloves
This addition can be optional, it looks very good when you have a proton pack and are very cheap. You can buy different types, some with lining inside that absorbs sweat or buy the regular all rubber models, either one is fine. These can mail ordered but check your local surplus first, thats where I found mine.

4. Black Paratrooper Combat boots with side zippers
The boots can be a very expensive addition to buy but if you know where to get them you should be fine. I would reccommend not to go to your local surplus for these, they're hard to find and like any other combat boot are very expensive. Ordering over the net is extremely cheap and very efficient.

5. Gray Volleyball KneePads
These little additions can be hard to find when it comes to accuracy and durability. I ordered mine from Skidmore Sports and had to hand dye them a few times. You might not like the Kneepads they sell but they were close enough for me, its a start for you.

6. A No-Ghost Logo ArmPatch
Luckily for all of us Ghostheads these patches have gone into full swing production and almost anywhere you look there they are! I dont recommend buying from eBay because the patches are commercially made and un-accurate, but here are some good sites to start.

7. A custom Nametag
Unless you have a $5,000 sewing machine made especially for embroidering I suggest you skip the iron on material and printing paper. Its real simple where to find these nametags, real cheap and real accurate. Enjoy.

8. Belt Gadgets
You'll have to make these yourself especially the mysterious "black box". The keyrings can be found at any local hardware store in the key section, they're cheap considering you need about 4. If you want a whole belt kit here are two good people to get them from.

9. A Motorola 500 Radio
This model of the motorola went out along time ago so good luck looking around local for one. If you think you want to add this prop to your costume without spending too much then check out this website for more info.
