Flite Wear - Type 2 - NASA Flight Jacket
Now in stock. Luna Replicas brings you our flagship line, "Flight Wear" Type 2 NASA flight jackets. These jackets are built from the ground up using historic examples to recreate the original jackets, exactly as they were made for the Apollo astronauts & crews. All facets match the original Type 2 jackets exactly: including single-piece woven cuffs, reinforced sleeve zipper, navy blue colored main zipper, original new-old-stock black enameled pocket snaps, custom dyed vintage orange lining fabric, and a water-resistant blue shell fabric that is indistinguishable from the original. These jackets are authentically tougher and a little better reinforced than the earlier Type 1s. We have also added some water resistant treatment to the fabric, so these jackets will get you through a rainstorm or an accidental spill! Each jacket comes with a vintage-style "Type 3" NASA logo patch sewn on; an homage to the Apollo 1 crew that wore the same patch as well as the crew of Apollo 11 aboard
