Default Where are the Shuttle launch/entry suits stowed during a mission?

I have been unable to find the answer to this question: Where are the
Shuttle LES/ACES Suits (or "pumpkin suits") stored in the cabin after
launch. In all of the pictures I've seen of Astronauts in the Space
Shuttle, I've never seen then stowing or unpacking the launch suits.

My first guess would be the middeck lockers, but they seem too small to
hold 4 -7 pumpkin suits and helmets! The airlock already holds the EVA
suits, so that's no good.

Anyone who has read up on this, or knows the answer, I'd be greatful
for a reply.
