WW2 fashion statement

Anyone know of someone that has an old "Sidcot" flying suit WW2 vintage.
Has the diagonal, button up/ zip across the chest and a large map pocket.
I'd like to get hold of an original to copy. (Or buy,.. ditto the helmet)

Used to have one, and the leather helmet and gosport tubes to go with it, when I was a little noddy learning to fly Tiger Moths MANY moons ago.
Sadly, madly I gave them all away when I sold the Tiger in '63.
Going back to open cockpit... need the kit again.
