About this piece
Removed from his personal locker just six months after the historic flight following his retirement from NASA in January 1970.
The sky blue heavy cotton flight suit bears the Flite Wear label of the manufacturers Land Mfg. Co. of Wichita, Kansas, official suppliers to NASA, and has numerous zipped pockets, snap pockets and Velcro patches (one of which, on the chest, would have originally carried Michael Collins' name tag).
The suit also features an embroidered NASA logo patch known as the 'Meatball' vector patch. This example, identifiable by its design, is known by collectors as a 'Type V' patch, which were used circa 1969 – 1972.
These patches were worn by the Apollo 13, 16 and 17 crews on their post-flight jump suits, and by the Apollo 11 crew on their Biological Isolation Garments.
