Try an astronaut/space relics dealer.
There is a man in town, his day job is being a minister, and he has a huge space collection. Stuff like Space Shuttle parts, electronics, suits, food, as well as the expected patches and photos.
In talking with him, he 's told me there is a thriving market for such stuff.
I'd bet if there are any SR-71 suits out there, they'd be in that orbit (pardon the pun).

I worked as a machinist for David Clark back in the late 80’s early 90’s.
Still have a few pieces I made for the suits in my pilot cave. :wink:
