I've got a new set of TK armour coming - cant wait.

I sold my old set about 3 years ago so will need a new black undersuit

Who's a decent reliable supplier in the UK?

Cheers

Jez

I got minw from www.spandexman.com model #308. I think it was about £30 overall with UK shipping. Fits great and you can get a crotch zip as an extra, as well as a hood and gloves if you wish.

There are a few places online that sell cotton unitards. Don't go with the shiny, lycra stuff.

Jez check this thred:
which-bodysuits-do-you-guys-use-for-your-trooper-vt1444.html
my response from that thread below. It's a UK company. Link is down for me right now...not sure if it's temporary tho...

the suit that came with my SDS armor says it's from "chillcheater.com."
I think this is what I have (link below). Although mine has loops under the feet and no logo on the arm, this is the closest I could find on the website.

If this is it, it is great. very comfortable, not too tight (although I'm 5-10", 150lbs).

This company claims supplying the tour suits for Ep 1 promos - I suppose they mean IV as there were no troopers in one
