Found this at the USAF national museum on-line. Fascinating selection of wear.

That lot would definately keep you warm ! The shearling parka is something else.

What's funny is the poor enlisted fella with nothing but coveralls! :lol:

That parka the first chap is wearing on the left has got to be the biggest hood I've ever seen.

That's actually an armor-plated blast shield...

The man in the center and the one on the right have really wide boots. Does anyone know what type of boots they are?

It looks to me like those are leather, or rubber caps and soles on the ends of the legs of a complete suit, a Michelin Man-like hooded full covering.
