1980s sas iranian embassy seige loadout

[parramoom]

im having trouble figuring out what the sas wore in the Iranian embassy siege i know they wore an s6 but i dont know what hood they used what trousers or boots nor do i know the jumper looking thing i wont bother with a vest as the ones i see are quite expensive so ill just get some random one ive already got an ics mp5 ive scoured everywhere and cant find much  all i need to know is the clothing could i get any help?

It's a set of Nomex overalls, not shirt and trousers. https://arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/160651-iranian-embassy-siege80s-sas-loadout/

There's plenty of black overalls on Military 1st https://www.military1st.co.uk/11730002-mil-tec-swat-overall-black.html

Genuine issue vest https://www.fieldtextiles.co.uk/shop/clothing/jackets/sbs-sas-assault-vest-1123539.html (probably a bit steep but there's repros out there)

Don't forget the Maglite!

The Special Services can wear anything and still be scary, even going in dressed as Ronald McDonald would *hit anyone up...

Some of these SAS urban reference photos will be less useful than others:

I have a blue nomex suit and a vest that would possibly do the job, but I dont think I will be able to dig them out of the garage until next week though.

Black boiler suit/flight suit, gas mask and black tac vest should see you right for not much cost. As long as you sling an MP5  with it you're 99% there.

[EDcase]

I believe the SAS suits were dark blue not black

[Ebeneezer Goode]

I stand corrected, thanks. Brain fart.

Not a surefire either!!!!

 

It's a streamlight SL20 used in embassy siege. 

 

Here's mine.....

[EDcase]

It looks great but so awkward 😉

 

@Parramoom, These are the cheapest/closest coveralls I can find with a hood.

@parramoom bear in mind that those (or indeed any fire proof overalls) are going to be VERY warm!

Only for Winter then 😉

A fag constantly hanging off your lip would also be de rigueur.
