Sources for Uniform Items

Vanguard ( http://www.vanguardmil.com/ )

New items only. All parts to all CGAUX uniforms, except flight jackets and service coats.
Back-ordered items can take a long time.
Be sure you know exactly what you want

AAFES, 800-527-2345, http://www.aafes.com

New USAF items only (no CGAUX insignia). The Blue shirts and shiny black shoes are applicable to CGAUX uniform, but I do not think the other items (pants, belts, hats, or service coats) would be applicable.

New items only. They primarily supply parts to CAP uniforms, but as mentioned above, the blue shirts and shoes are the same as the CGAUX uniform. Usually ships very quickly.

Numerous other vendors sell new and used flight suits and flight jackets at airshows such as Oshkosh AirVenture and Sun-n-Fun. If you or a friend has a program from either airshow, check in there for flight suit dealers, new and used.
