Those Green "Flying Suits" Of Yesteryear..
Hi All,
Can anybody please advise where I may be able to purchase one of those green flying suits / overalls thingys with all those zippers etc..?? The one I have, I bought from a disposals store in SY over '40 something' years ago... And now it won't fit!! And I have NO IDEA of why not?? Anyway, suffice it to say that if I could get another, the 'grandies' would be pleased.... The 'old one' is labelled 'C.G.C.F., size 2, R.A.N. Made in Australia.' Any ideas guys and gals..?? Cheers:ok: |

What's this for Griffo, your new job as honorary CFI at the club? :}

Ex FSO,
Try a net search of US pilot supply shops, they can readily be bought at a number of them in store or online. Any size, brand new, probably made in the good ole USA. I bought numerous pairs of nomex military flying gloves when I lived in US. Here in Aust they were impossible to source years ago at any civilian store anywhere.:ok: |

I may well have one exactly as described, at least i know that i did have one a few years ago. pm me in few days when i am back home and i will have a rummage through the boxes in the shed. HD I wish i could get photobucket to work so i could post a few pics of the beech 18's that i found in a falling down hangar a few days ago, amazing what is rotting away in some places. |

Virtually every non military flight suit wearers in the country use these guys
www.sisleyclothing.com.au"] They can customise as many pockets and zips as you like, their suits last forever their quality is second to none and they're Australian made. :ok: |
Griffo,
Ask them if they have a version for pregnant pilots. You know, the ones with the stomach bulge built in. Might be just perfect! :p |
..at my local field, all the warbirds pilots wear them
The rest of us call them sh!t-hots:E |
Gro-Bags. :hmm:
|
What are you willing to pay for a brand new one, never been worn, still with those useless leather thingies on the zippers, Griffo?
|
Mr G, you cut a trim figure in that green flying suit.......back in '67!
|
Thankyou 'SG' ......Just wot I wanted to hear......
More hair in 'dem days' too..... Now....back to Hawker for U....... :ok: |
Many thanks guys and gals,....I'm overwhelmed.
I don't really want one of those 'new fangled' modern all singin' all dancin' fireproof thingys...... Just one of those 'old fashioned' green, loose fitting, (Yeah - that's a wish NOW Tom)... with all the zippers and the little leather thong thingies - optional - so that I can enjoy 'old age' a little more humourously. MTOW - Wot do ya reckon U might want for it, and I guess I would need a size 4 by now....MY MTOW has increased a bit....a lot!! PM me if you like... Peucey - I thought you were out of sight....?? And Mr Harley..please got those photos on here...soon.. Thanks again guys for all the responses. I am serious about trying to get one that fits...... Worth's Circus want too much for their tent...:=:= Cheers:ok::ok: |
eBay is going to be your best bet.

their suits last forever |
Quote: their suits last forever Ya kiddin aren't ya? I though it was nicer than saying 'A new Sisley flight suit will still be going strong long after you're DEAD'. :uhoh: |
Fancy dress shop, along with stick on handlebar moustache? :E

'A new Sisley flight suit will still be going strong long after you're DEAD'. I don't know of anyone that has not had problems with stitching...:eek: |
