LIMITED RUN ONLY -  These jackets are built from the ground up using historic examples to recreate the original "Type 1" NASA Flight Jacket, but in a lighter weight shell fabric for summer or indoor wear.  The color is also more blue, but they still look great and are within a shade of the original fabric color from 1966.  

All other 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 soft non-water resistant lightweight shell fabric.

THESE JACKETS FEEL GREAT RIGHT OUT OF THE BAG!

Each jacket comes with a vintage-style "Type 3" NASA logo patch sewn on.  These 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 LUNA REPLICAS WINGS INCLUDED on the right chest. (We now make custom vintage-style leather wings AVAILABLE 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 in this limited run.

Unworn size exchanges accepted within 5 days of delivery, with a 10% restocking fee plus shipping costs. (Please check the SIZE CHART, and CONTACT US with any questions before you order.)

Another Successful Mission

The Type 1B flight jacket is a must have. Being the owner of both the Type 2 and 3 flight jackets which I wear year round I thought how nice it would be to have a version just a little lighter in weight for warmer summer days or evenings. Luna Replicas read my mind with this Type 1B flight jacket. Right out of the box the jacket has the feel of a well worn broken in jacket while looking brand new. The accuracy of this jacket to the "Real McCoy" is 100%. As explained in the description the blue material is one shade different but when not exactly side by side with the Type 1 and Type 2 it is almost impossible to notice the difference. On the flip side I love this color of blue used and glad they went with this shade. The jacket is great for wearing in a warmer climate and currently I am enjoying it to knock off the chill in the air here in late fall inside or outside the house.

This jacket is a must have for any space enthusiast and especially who enjoys this memorable era of space exploration history. Max and his team at Luna Replicas deserve the traditional "Houston Mission Control" cigar after this successful Type 1B flight jacket mission.

Another fantastic job gentleman!!!
