Someone picked up a nice piece of history on eBay (158032848962) yesterday. There's no provenance, but it looks like one of Buzz Aldrin or Jim Lovell's Gemini-Titan 12 (GT-12) flight suits as worn post-flight on the USS Wasp. It could be a spare?

If anything, they got a deal on the patches sewn to it.

After it being listed for $90 and going unsold, the suit was relisted once before selling for $175 (or perhaps less, given it was a best offer).

Unfortunately, the seller offered no chain of ownership or explanation how s/he came to have the suit to sell.
