Altering Jumpsuits

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I just bought a used jumpsuit from the classified and although it fits its just a little snug. Does anyone know of anyone that can alter a rw suit? I did a search but came up with nadda!

One of our jumpers went to a regular dress maker and had her install a second zipper. In the summer he can use the original zipper, but after winter with the extra clothes he uses the new zipper that gives him an extra 2 inches. I'll try to get a picture this weekend.

Being in Florida, there are probably a bunch of people who can do it. Jumpsuit alterations and repair is a solid side business for a rigger. You might have to go down to Deland or something, but somewhere nearby is somebody that can help you. I'd say call around to a few DZs and see if they can give you a name.

I would try to avoid a non-skydiver however. A regular tailor or seamstress may not realize the abuse your jumpsuit will endure, and not use the right spec materials or thread for the job.
