You can't get anything decent in the UK its all flammable as well and will stick to you if it burns. Unfortuantely with have a ppruner in hospital just now with serious burns after an accident.

Your best bet is get some made to measue with material that you choose.

Don't go for 100% cotton because its a bitch to iron.

I have 90% and 80% ones made in the East and they are cracking.

Although I suppose a cotton string vest might be an option, but you really don't want to be dressed in polyester if you can help it. I have a 3"by1" scar on by back after brushing up against a pitot tube in a cheap shirt and the material melting onto me. The only way to get it off was to pull the skin off with it.
