Factory SECOND, with some blemishes or a cosmetic pull in the fabric. All will be wearable, with just random cosmetic issue(s) (photos of one example, with tape highlighting issue). NOT RETURNABLE.
Luna Replicas brings you a factory second of one our flagship line, "Flight Wear" Type 2 NASA flight jackets. These jackets may have had a fabric pull or dye issue, or stain during construction, but are otherwise exactly the same as our regular Type 2 jackets.
Description of our Type 2 flight jacket:
These 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 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 (a $25 value alone). Also sewn to the jacket is a piece of Velcro Brand loop tape for your name badge and wings on the right chest, as worn originally by NASA astronauts in the 1960s and early 70s (and we now make custom vintage-style leather wings AVAILABLE HERE).
(Also available without patches in a limited run HERE)
This isn't anything you've seen before. Luna Replicas spent nearly a year developing these jackets with our custom manufacturer in Los Angeles, to bring you the finest wearable, museum-quality reproduction possible. You will not be disappointed.
U.S. Men's Chest Sizes 36 through 52 will be available. (SEE SIZE CHART)
Made in the U.S.A. of U.S. & Imported Materials
