Yep, Dickies, RedKap, or similar, with some modification are the go-to.

 

Basically, remove external pockets, sew or Velcro shut the slash pockets. Add the collar flap closure (you can use one of the removed back pockets for this material), add the riding patches on the thighs and backside "mudflap" (real suede for Lancer, faux suede is acceptable for basic clearance) and add the elastic thigh bands.

 

Coveralls are obviously designed to go over regular clothes, so it's sometimes necessary to take in the legs/butt area - I even took in the arms on mine - to achieve a more form fitting look.

 

Even with these alterations, you usually save money compared with buying an "off the shelf" flight suit that often still needs some of these mods anyway.

I ended up getting this one:

If the size is right it's an awesome suit. Form fitting without losing the aesthetic of the originals. Also has elastic cuffs which is great. Plus, it already has the neck closure.
