[b]Flite Wear - Type 1[/b] [i]These jackets are built from the ground up using historic examples to recreate the original "Type 1" NASA Flight Jacket, exactly as they were worn by Gemini, and Apollo astronauts and crews. All facets match the original Type 1 jackets exactly: including single-piece woven cuffs, exposed sleeve zipper, khaki colored main zipper, original new-old-stock nickel pocket snaps, custom dyed vintage lining fabric, and a shell fabric that is indistinguishable from the original. Each jacket comes with a vintage-style "Type 1" NASA logo patch sewn on. These are embroidered on original machinery with vintage materials, matching the originals in every way. Also sewn to the jacket is a Velcro loop tape for your name badge and wings on the right chest, as worn originally by NASA astronauts.[/i] [b]Flite Wear - Type 2[/b] [i]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 and 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 lining fabric, and a water-resistant 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 recovery ship USS HORNET. These patches are embroidered on original machinery with vintage materials, matching the originals in every way. Also sewn to the jacket is a Velcro loop tape for your name badge and wings on the right chest, as worn originally by NASA astronauts.[/i]
