David,
You are so right. as a former PJ, our suits weren't the best fitting, especially when you are 6' 5" so most of us had to get them "refitted" to make us look better on the flight line J But now that I am 6' 4" and a little (lot) rounder through the middle, I'm not sure I would want to be seen in it.. Fred Johnson Reno, NV David wrote:. All, Flight suits are not designed to really fit anyone well. The only ones that look like they fit have been tailored (Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, actors, the Village People, and the like). For the jet jocks, if it was not baggy beneath your crotch you were going to regret it when you put on the speed jeans (g-suit). If it is a bit longer at that point than you think it should be, you will look like someone who actually wore it for business in days gone by. Unless the crotch goes down to your knees. A personal observation from the retired Navy carrier guy. If you do get a flight suit and actually do want to look good in it, wear boots or at least leather shoes with it instead of sneakers. Nothing looks worse than a middle-aged guy with long hair and/or a paunch, and sneakers with white socks wearing a military style flight suit. IHS, Zipper Goodman LCDR USN(ret) 575 carrier traps
