Looks to be a nomex flight suit very similar (Actually exactly) like the
monex tanker uniforms and chopper pilot nomex we use in the Army.
Replacement cost is around 70 bucks.

I have a nomex CVC suit its nothing like it.....35th ID here........The
orange suits are uncommon but not rare. Average prices at militaria shows
has been about 20-50$ depending on patches and other stuff...


BTW, the old suits from the late 50's and before are based on the WW2 flight
suits.

Having been a tanker for 23 years (Up until a couple of years ago) I also
have a few of them laying around and other than them being green, they are
exactly like the one in the picture. Same zipper configuration, same waist
nylon stretxh, same everything. As for me, 3rd Armored Div (Kirch-Goins,
Germany), 1st Armored Div, 1-1 Cavalry (Border) Schwabach Germany, 8th
Infantry Div. (Wildflecken, Germany) Drill Sergeant (Fort Knox), 4th ID
(Carson) 1st Cav (Hood) 5th ID (Polk) 2nd ID (Korea) and a few other places.

Dont need to look at the picture. I was an OC at Shelby for 3 years and know
what a tank looks like.

My apologies...sincerely. The picture was just to show you I wasn't some
punk kid funking around on the net.....Anyway, I'll move along and not
return.....
