Before making your decision, we ENCOURAGE you to do a GOOGLE search on the web for kid's or children's flight suits and jackets. Absoluted NOBODY has the detailed tailoring, patch selection, CUSTOMIZED NAMETAGS - or anything even close to what we do! The bottom line is Fly Boys goes the extra distance to make this the best.

At FlyBoys, our real job it to make real gear for real pilots. And we're awesome at that! Since we have so many customers world-wide that love our flight gear, we're getting the next generation of pilots on their way to the cockpits of real jets. We fully expect to be outfitting a lot of them with our "real gear" in the years to come.

So, what is so great about Pre-Flight flight suits and jackets compared to the rest of them on the market?

First, we didn't settle for second best on quality OR realism! We know these suits are going to be worn to the playground, school, Friday night at the squadron bar, Halloween, the flight line photos for Christmas cards. It HAS to look right. It HAS to fit well. It HAS to last. Parents want the best for their kids, even when it comes to play clothes like these. These suits have been creating life long memories for kids and grown ups alike! You have truly found the best flight suit available anywhere.

Second, we have a lot of selection to customize the suits to YOUR specifications, not the other way around. We manufacture in one color, because 99% of military pilots wear Olive Drab flight suits, not blue or black or orange (desert tan coming Summer '08!) - plus they are made with cheap woven patches that are sewn on - and not even realistic!! We've given you the ability to pick and choose what service (Air Force, Navy, Army), Command, and a great selection of aircraft type your child wants on his or her suit. You get to choose a nametag with Air Force, Navy or Army Pilot wings - customized with the nickname you want on it.

Before Pre-Flight by Fly Boys, these choices simply did not exist!

Here is what you need to know about the suits and jackets and our "Easy as 1 - 2 - 3" ordering system.

Sizing Selection

Four sizes of flight suits and jackets are available. The jackets are made to go in tandem with the suits, so whatever suit size your child would fit into is the corresponding jacket size to select. We recognize that children grow quickly. Our sizing recommendation chart takes this into consideration. All of these suits are roomy and allow for growth. In order to maximize the amount of time your child can wear the suit - you could even select a size that might be a little larger than they need. Many customers have said they roll up the sleeves and/or temporarily hem the legs to max out the value from the suit.

The following measurements are the best way to ensure you get the right size. The 2-3T, 4-5T sizes are strictly for use if you don't have access to the child to take the actual measurements.

Small (18-24mo): Outseam=20.0, Inseam=13.0, Sleeve Length=13.25, Nape to Floor=30.0

Medium (2-3T): Outseam=23.5, Inseam=17.0 Sleeve Length=15.0, Nape to Floor=36.0

Large (4-5T):Outseam=26.0, Inseam=18.75, Sleeve Length=17.0, Nape to Floor=39.0

XLarge (6-8):Outseam=27.5, Inseam=19.5, Sleeve Length=20.0, Nape to Floor=41.25

Lots of companies offer flight suits for kids, but you will see that no one goes to the lengths we have gone to in order to make these realistic - at very affordable and competitive prices.

Create lasting memories for your child when you get a suit that is as close to Dad's (or Mom's!) as possible. Just follow the prompts and you are on your way! >Just like the real deal, these suits are made to stand up to the wear and tear children can put on clothes. The material is a comfortable and durable 55/45 cotton poly blend. It is recommended for longest life the suits be washed in cold water on a gentle cycle and hang to dry. Patches should be removed prior to washing.
