Original Battlestar Galactica Flight Jacket???

Like many kids who grew up watching the Original Battlestar Galactica show in the 70s, I want a flight jacket. You can get them on eBay and some decent costuming online stores ... but they're made out of cloth. Now, I'm sure the original ones were actually made out of cloth and the purists in the world of SF-geekdom have to make things exactly right. I understand that. I dig it.

But I thought they were made out of leather when I watched the show back in the day.

I've found Chris Pappas' site where he sells several costuming bits.

What I can't find is the pattern for a Battlestar Galactica flight jacket so I can make my dream jacket out of leather.

Google is failing me. Anyone know where you can find a pattern for one of these awesome jackets?

Don't know about a pattern, but for 250.00 there are replicas.

The originals were not leather--they were UltraSuede

Red Monkey says: Yes, I KNOW they were not leather. However, that's what I thought they were when I was a kid watching the show back in the day. Thus, since that's the memory (wrong though it may be), that's what I want to make for myself - a leather BSG flight jacket.

I'm looking to do the exact same thing, but I will need all the not-leather bells & whistles on the jacket. Where can I order those? Are they for sale anywhere?
