I like.  My wallet on the other hand.....

The one contention I have is with the goretex.  I wish they would have gone with black (like the fleece) as I already have a black goretex.  But, I found an "LAPD" navy goretex in my size for a decent price ($119 on clearance).

I've been needing to update my ribbons, and was kinda holding out for this change to come.  Now that it has, I added the needed clasp to my MSA, the crisis service ribbon, and added the AFOEA while I was at it.  Was going to add the two USCG ribbons I earned in the USCGAux, but remembered what a pain it was to have to explain them all the time.  $60 to the fine folks at Ultra Thin.

Found a compliant navy blue tac cap on Amazon for $12, ordered last night and on my porch this afternoon (Why can't Jeff Bezos bid on our uniform supplier contract?).  Looks good, has the velcro fore and aft for rank and name tape; the front velcro is 2x3", so I'll have to take it off and cut/trim it to size, or just sew the rank directly to the hat.  If I'm going that far, will probably remove the back velcro and sew the tape direct.  It also has small hook patches on the sides, so I'll have to remove those as well.

Since I didn't have any more, ordered a couple more velcro rank patches and name tapes from Vanguard to the tune of about $28, including shipping.

I'll pass on the black suede boots, thanks.

I always bought my blue flight suits from Tru Spec.  They're configured just a little differently than the USAF suit in that they have no pockets on the upper legs.  They're also made of a heavier poly/cotton blend than the Rothco brand, which are in fact junk.

If I was buying one today, I would go with Propper.  They're one of the contractors for the nomex USAF flight suits.  They also make an identical, nomex flight suit in navy blue if you're hung up on having nomex and don't mind paying the price.  I noticed they are now making them in poly/cotton, are otherwise identical to the nomex suits, and considerably cheaper.

As an addendum, my experience with Rothco products has not been good. My best description is - junk.

Look on eBay for used flight suits. It might take a bit of patience, because your size might not show up right away, but that's where I got mine.

Based on your replies, I think its safer to just go with the Corporate Blue, thanks for the responses.

Quote from: Paul Creed III on April 17, 2025, 10:19:33 AMPer 39.1 section 8.2.2, the USAF flight suit is Nomex (brand name for aramid fibers) and is olive drab, not sage. The Rothco olive drab flight suit version is cotton/polyester so it would not be 39-1 compliant.

Strictly speaking, the USAF FDU is not OD, it is sage green as defined in the mil-spec. Whoever wrote that section of 39-1 just used the wrong color. So, again strictly speaking, anyone wearing a USAF flight suit is out of uniform. And this is just one more reason why our uniform regs should just be a supp to the DAFI.

To my eye the OD looks the closest to Sage Green, not a perfect match but close.

So it looks like I will be able to go to NESA this year for the Mission Scanner/Photographer course. I need a flightsuit for graduation.

Was thinking about the Rothco Flightsuit.

Does this meet the 39-1 standards for both USAF-Style Flight Uniform and Corporate Flight Uniform?

If I go with USAF-style should I get the Olive Drab color or the Foliage color? 39-1 says "Sage" so I'm unsure.

I'm thinking it just might be easier to go Corporate Blue.

Any help would be appreciated.

I Like the "Tactical Hat", one hat fits all.

Black Suede Boots, okay I guess, works for the prior service Navy guys and gals.

Blue Gortex, for those in both CAP and USCGAux, what a cost saver.

Military ribbons and badges on Corporate uniforms, about FREAKING time.

NCOs get a CAP Hat Badge, cool.

The CAP Command Master Chief gets his/her own Rank Insignia, cool.

Still no OCPs.

Not exactly what I was thinking... what do you guys think?
