skybytch 273 #1 July 22, 2004 My jumpsuits don't fit me anymore. They're so big and baggy on me now that it's affecting how I fly (and increasing the amount of lead I have to wear). Plus I've been doing four way and plan to do a lot more so I figure it's about time to get and learn to fly booties. So I bit the bullet and ordered a new jumpsuit a couple weeks ago. Got it rushed so I'd have it in time to take with me to Rantoul. Colored it so it would match my "slow" suit. It arrived today. Pulled it out of the bag, held it up and thought "Damn. That's pretty small." Off came the shoes so I could try it on. Damn. It's pretty small. What's scary is other than the knees being so tight I can barely bend my legs and needing about another 1/4 inch in the torso, it fits. Have a slight issue with color - what they call silver grey looks more like white to me (doesn't match the silver grey on my other suit from the same mfr, and I think it's the same fabric). It's going back to the manufacturer tomorrow to get a bit more room in the knees. I'll live with the torso snugness and color difference - good thing I'm getting better at standing up my landings cuz the almost-white fabric is on the butt!

skybytch 273 #4 July 22, 2004 QuotePicture? Heh. Suit and camera are at the shop. Maybe if you're all really nice to me tonight I might get a pic of me in it and post it tomorrow. Maybe. Did I mention that it's snug enough that I won't be wanting to wear a tshirt under it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #15 July 23, 2004 QuoteNow we have to see a picture! Okay. Here's a couple pics. After wearing it around the shop for 20 minutes or so this morning the knees don't seem quite as tight as they did yesterday when I tried it on. I think I'm gonna go with it as is and see what happens... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RevJim 0 #17 July 23, 2004 Looks killer, Lisa, but you're right, those knees do look quite tight. Getting it fixed now might be better than blown out seams a short way down the road.
