Would you guys say that looks like an accurate match to the Gb1 uniform?

I would say no cuase the one in GB1 was light gray. The one in GB2 was that ( kahki ) and a dark gray suit. I might be wrong but thats what I think.

I could have sworn in some scenes in GB1 it looked light gray-ish. GB2 had dark gray.

If I recall correctly, the popular belief is that the suits are khaki with a little purple dye mixed in (it's said that the suits were made from fabric supplied by the studio).

I'm with Cosmic, except instead of purple, I'm sure it's a grey dye mixed in… but I could be wrong.

The picture on that site looks okay… but the tones could be off…

That's correct.

I'd say, judging from the amount of detail given in that picture, it's a pretty damn good match for the film's uniforms, color aside. You can always dye it to get that dark khaki/grey look. It's got the chest zips, the rounded collar, the velcro “belt” on the waist, the velcro straps on the cuffs, etc. I can't tell if it has the pocket on the right leg in that pic, and I know they have a leg pocket in the film, but overall it's pretty damn close.

They get new things all the time so you have to check in every so often. The colors of US and German flightsuits are close to the GB's in my opinion.
