Thanks Willy,

Wish it was in my size, I'd like to see what this sells for.

I have a feeling that this jacket went through the wash & dry. But for what it is it's a rare bird.

Here is a fine example of the Flite Wear flight suit. I like how the photoshop'd dudes head onto the image. The price it sold for was amazing!!

Here is a shot of Yours Truly in the Land suit I found on Ebay several years ago: http://www.jetgouge.com/Bags%20Page%201.html

Does anyone know why NASA gave up those cool sky blue suits for those awful mustard colored things?

NASA Pilot's Mustard NASA Flight Jacket. This white, silk-lined "Kings Point" cloth jacket (X-Large) includes a NASA pilot's leather ID velcroed to the chest (JERE COBB) as well as numerous patches including the rare triangular blue NASA-MSC patch, a NASA meatball (3"), a small US flag (2.5x1.5") patch, a "Lunar Landing Training Vehicle" patch (LLTV patches are almost never available) and a The Red Baron / Houston patch.

I have two of those LLTV patches. If you want some good gouge on patches and jackets and suits worn back in the day, contact a pilot at JSC Air Ops named Roger Zweig. I think he's still there. He was a great source for patches when I met him in the early 80s and he got me the LLTV patches.

Hi,

Something similar from Martin X-24B in 1972 being worn by Tom McMurtry.

The suit and jacket worn by McMurtry are from Bowler's Shirt and Uniform which was located in the garment district in downtown Los Angeles. They made a few suits and patches for me in the 1970s. I visited the location in the 1990s and it was boarded up and long gone. My contact person there was a guy named Rick von Henkle (as far as I can recall), and if you can find him, he may be able to give you infor on those garments.
