Thanks Shawn, and to everyone else who posted. I already have a summer
weight Nomex sage green flight suit but was hoping I could find something
less military and more sporty. I noticed there seems to be lots of
different colors in the cotton blend flightsuits, but I'm only interested in
the Nomex fabric (I've got some third degree burns from a previous accident
and I never, ever, want to go through that again). I think I'll just pick
up a blue nomex flightsuit from Flightsuits. As you say they ain't cheap.
FWIW, I noticed some of the airshow performers are also wearing nomex racing
shoes. I bought me a pair. They cost about $70 and you can buy them out of
any race car magazine. Great nomex protection for your feet and they work
great on pedals too - airplane or race car.

Justin,
You might also try Flightsuits (now known as Gibson something or other).
They make them in nomex and cotton and in a mulititude of colors. I had
one custom made to my measurements in nomex in desert tan (matches my
airplane's color scheme). They aren't cheap but they're new and they're
to milspec. I had good luck with the customer service in that department
(though I can't say the same for the helmet people).

Cheers,
Shawn

Try e-bay. I have purchased both my flight suits and my nomex gloves
through e-bay and am very happy with my purchases.

Anyone know who makes/sells nomex flight suits for sport aviation? I'm
looking for something more interesting than sage green or tan.

Thx. justin
