Right, I need to recreate one of these, but for a bit less than $7k. Does anyone know where I can find a suit of a similar colour (I already know where to get hold of the badges to sew on it). I don't have an army surplus near me, and I can't find anywhere online that sells flight suits in the colour I want. There are plenty of American sites, but they won't deliver it in time (2 weeks tomorrow). I desperately want to make this look good, so any help will be much appreciated.
Here's what I'm trying to recreate.

There are loads of sites online of how to do it, it's just getting hold of the right suit in the first place that's the issue.
ETA: Ideally I want a flight suit because they have proper pockets in.

Yeah. There's not much on there. Tbh, I'm not sure what the difference between flight suits, jump suits, boiler suits, coveralls and overalls are. As long as it looks good, I'm not too fussed, but it's for a stag night, so I'll be going out in it and I'll need to keep all of my money and stuff too.0

Heres a few in the UK that might be able to supply them, the nearest color would be the desert/ sandy colour though

Thanks, but none of those are available in my size. Except the first one, which seems to think that every available size deserves £30 on top of the quoted price for some reason (I'd found that one previously). I've found two so far.
This one's the best colour so far, but it's not exactly the right style, and it's not cheap either. But it's my best one so far.
And there was another one which was the right style but was more of a tan colour.
I should probably say, I'm 5'7 and quite slim.0
