Hey everyone,

After any thoughts of the Tru-Spec Flight suits from the GBFans shop, with regards to the fit.

I am 5' 11" so I'm looking at getting a long suit. Now my waist is 34" but I find that some brands of trousers I find 34 a bit tight so I'm thinking of probably getting a large. Do people find they are quit tight fitting of pretty loose. I was wondering with a large going up to a 38" it might look a little to baggy.

One other question. I'm thinking of making a charcoal costume as well. In the comments for the blue costume, people mention about doing colour removal so make it more accurate. Is that more advisable than dying a khaki suit to the correct shade?

Thanks for any advice people can give me

I've found these shrink especially if your going to dye it.

It's not based on waist. What is your chest measurement when your lungs are filled completely with air?

Thanks for the reply

Just measured, filling lungs with air as suggested and I am just over 42". I see a large goes up to 44", do you think that will be ok taking shrinking into account. I plan on getting a Khaki that I won't dye, so I imagine I can put that on a cold wash so shrinking shouldn't be a problem.

I literally just got my Medium Long Khaki in the mail today. I tried it on over my VERY loose-fitting actual work uniform (which consists of loose cargo pants and a big, baggy "cargo shirt"). I too, am 5'11" with a 34"ish waist and a 39"ish chest. It was a bit tight pulling it over the shoulders, but there was considerable room for my uniform underneath. When zipped I still had decent range of motion. It was about to hit what I would call the "very loose end of snug" meaning that I know I can confidently wear a decently warm set of track/fleece pants or fleece hoody under for added warmth if needed. I wash most of my stuff in cold anyway, so shrinking should be a non-issue. I'll likely post a few pics once I get more of the pieces together; my first package was the suit, belt and logo patch.
