'Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider, huh?'
The Ghostbusters fancy dress outfit in its most basic form is nothing more than a beige jumpsuit, a one-piece garment or 'coverall' often utilized by parachuters, tradesman, and as a uniform by certain institutions. But it is the details that make this costume what it is, and turn the wearer into a fearless hunter of all things paranormal, and a colleague of New Yorks four most famous heroes.

The Ghostbusters Patch
The main Ghostbusters patch (and logo for the whole Ghostbusters franchise) is what turns any ordinary beige jumpsuit into the uniform of New Yorks finest, based upon the universal symbol for 'no' the Ghostbusters patch features the image of a ghost caught within the red circle usually associated with such signs as 'no smoking.' Also known as the 'prohibition sign' this red circle features a diagonal line running through it from top-left to bottom-right, and is used to indicate that something is not permitted, with in the case of the Ghostbusters symbol this being 'no ghosts allowed'.

In addition to the logo style patch detailed above for those seeking to create an authentic Ghostbusters fancy-dress costume, each beige jump suit also features an embroidered red and black name patch stitched onto the left breast. These can be bought on sites such as eBay, and can even be ordered to feature your own name, making you the 'unofficial' fifth Ghostbuster.
