Soft parts patterns?

[Comet]

Im not old enough to join yet but I want to eventually have a ROTJ biker scout and dont want to spend $200+ on a flight suit but I cant seem to find any patterns. Does anybody know of any?

The flight suit is not something that is typically made from scratch.  Most folks buy a set of coveralls and then modify them by adding the riding patches.  Coveralls generally run in the $30-$40 range.

I was hoping to have it be 2 piece is that not really something people do for scouts?

That's something people do all the time, especially the ladies.  You can check out the WIP threads for examples.  This one in particular may be useful to you

I should note, you only need to appear to be wearing a flight suit from the outside once you have all your gear on.  You can probably buy a Dickies Work Jacket and Pants and modify them as needed.

I got a quick question and didn't want to start a new thread for it, Im researching soft parts now is this the kind of suede people get?

If not what do people get - trying to stay in a budget since armor is expensive
