The
Flight Suit of the Imperial Pilot is not
automatically the flight suit worn by today's
military. Comfort is again key while still
maintaining screen accuracy. Some of the best
screen captures come from the scene in "Star
Wars: Return of the Jedi" when Lord Vader
arrives aboard the second Deathstar. In
attendance are several pilots in "off duty"
uniform. The detail of this garment shows the
difference between the standard military flight
suit and coveralls. Properly altered, the
coveralls provide a more comfortable costume.

This graphic from
SWTROOPERS.Com, illustrates the difference
from the Military Flight suit to the Race Car
Driver costume. However, given the cost of a
nomex flame proof race suit, you can modify a "Dickies"
coverall suit to mimic this design.

Here is an altered coverall. Note the stand up
collar, no zippers visible with pocket flaps and
the two shoulder Imperial Emblem Patches.

This shows the proper placement of the Imperial
Cog shoulder patch and the Comm Pad on the left
forearm. Placed on top of the forearm just below
the elbow.
