LIMITED STOCK! WHEN THEY'RE GONE, THEY'RE GONE. Type 1B - Early-style Gemini/Apollo flight jacket, made in a lighter weight shell fabric as a test for indoor, summer wear, or for on a movie set. Color is a beautiful sky blue, slightly more blue than our flagship custom NASA replica heritage fabric.

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.
