So I've been thinking I've added a third color to my current scheme of silver(metallic)/black and that is a dark red/Crimson. So with that in mind I thought having a crimson flight suit would work well with my black vest. But I haven't found diddly squat. So does anyone know where I could find one? Either from a store or possibly custom made? I also tried searching for Crimson jumpsuits(which sent me to women's fashion) with no luck.

So if any one could direct me in the proper direction that'd be swell ^.^ thanks guys.

Hm I don't know if you can find a premade one - they sell bright red ones, but it's not the same.

Sidi Ren makes custom flightsuits, so I'm sure she could make you one in the right colors.

Thanks

Try scrubs.  They come in a wide variety of colors, are easily available and aren't very expensive.

Look around at an industrial supply store, at a store that exclusively sells scrubs or even some of the big box department stores for them.

Do they sell those in long sleeve, or would I have to sew sleeves on?

Though that might not be a horrible idea since scrubs aren't super duper expensive

Try Red Kap. They may have them. I know they have bright orange for pilots

Just checked they got nothing, but thanks for the suggestion I'm going to look for scrubs and a tailor so I can add longer sleeves, and if not that, then to the custom coverall it is.

I am a big proponent of scrubs.  They're very comfortable and unlike some of the military grade flightsuits out there, they don't get ridiculously hot on long troops.

I wear scrub pants and a long sleeve lab jacket.  They do make long sleeve scrub tops, but you will probably have to special order them or get them off the interweb.  You will have to take a seam-ripper to them and remove any logos or extraneous pockets.

I tuck the lab jacket into the pants, and my vest covers the buttons that run down the front of the jacket.  Some people buy two pairs of pants and a short-sleeve top, then cut off the bottoms of one pair of paints and sew them on as arms (you also have to take them in), or they cut the bottoms of the second pair of pants and for the double-sleeve look. 

A two-piece flightsuit is acceptable as long as they match in color and material, giving the illusion of a one-piece garment.  You will need a sash, girthbelt or something to cover the transition from the pants to the jacket, but most people would have that anyway.

There's a uniform store near where I work that sells scrub pants and the lab jacket for $20-25 each.  Check the sales racks, too.

I'm gonna try these first, and just so I'm certain, the numbers are the waist size, and the RG is the regular size right?

I'm about 185 or so, and 5'8, and I'm a 36 waist, so I should just get the 36 RG chest?

Whichever is larger.
