Inexpensive flight suits are readily available through online military surplus stores. For example, as of 2015, Uncle Sam's Army Navy Outfitters sells surplus and reproduction flight suits for between $42 and $93. Amazon.com also sells flight suits, with prices ranging from $36 to $73.

Frederick Sidney Cotton, an early Australian aviator, invented the first modern flight suit in 1917. His one-piece suit helped keep pilots warm during the days of open cockpit aviation. Following the widespread adoption of jet-powered aircraft, military and civilian aviation organizations adopted fire-resistant flight suits. Most militaries currently use flight suits made from Nomex, a lightweight and flame-resistant textile.
