There is no (or very few) skydiving in Thailand. 95% is military jumps. enjoy your stay therescissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skylab 0 #3 February 17, 2004 Ok Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites rehmwa 2 #4 February 17, 2004 There is a ton of excellent tailoring to be found all over the place in Thailand. I don't doubt that if you brought a jumpsuit (FF or RW) that they could build one as good as any. However, watch out - material type is important, thread type is important and sometimes it's hard to know what quality you're getting. I wouldn't have one built there unless is was a tailor you knew and could explain the requirements to. ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites slug 1 #5 February 17, 2004 QuoteThere is a ton of excellent tailoring to be found all over the place in Thailand.

At World Team they would build jumpsuits overnight for about $80. They had some interesting problems, like arm grippers on the top/inside of the arm, but if they had a pattern to work from (like an old suit) they did a pretty good job.

Took an old suit for a template and found sources for cordura, spandex and big ol' cotton rope. Then I managed to hook up with the national team. They said don't bother. They'd tried and resorted to ordering them from Pro's. You might have better luck than me. Especialy if there are no booties involved. $1000 dollar plane ticket vs. saving $200. I'd rather spend the time checking out the way to fast bumpercars I've heard so much about.
