Robert sez, “An Apollo astronaut, looking to keep the ‘right stuff’ forefront in the public’s eye, has recreated his iconic NASA-issued blue flight jacket down to the last button.
Al Worden, who in 1971 flew to the moon as the pilot of the Apollo 15 command module Endeavour, wore out his original flight jacket years ago. But working with a space enthusiast out of London, Worden has now reproduced the distinctive NASA outerwear as a museum-quality replica, which is being offered for sale.
“Worden, collaborating with British attorney Steve Pidcock, has founded ‘Still The Right Stuff’ to create what Worden labels as the ‘Apollo Flight Jacket.'”
The jacket is £450; there’s no website for it yet, so orders must be placed at info@alexanderleathers.com.
