John Young's Apollo training coverall jacket with tagging and patches, originating from his personal collection. A Teflon-coated Beta cloth jacket with snap closures at front and cuffs with a Velcro strap at the neck. On the upper left sleeve is sewn a US flag, 4.75 x 2.5 in size. At the upper left chest area is a name tag "J. YOUNG," 2.75 x 1 in size, beneath which is signed in black felt tip: "John W. Young." On the opposite chest area is a NASA ‘meatball’ emblem patch, 4.5 x 4.5 overall. The original tag at the neck is lightly crossed out in red ink and reads:

The complete garment, consisting of jacket, trousers, and boots, was designed to be worn inside the spacecraft when wearing the pressure suit. Accompanied by a signed letter from Young attesting to the jacket’s authenticity. In fine condition, with general light soiling and staining, a light brush and some slight feathering to signature, and light wear to patches. Several of these Apollo inflight coverall garments are held in the Smithsonian collection, both flown and unflown. Components of these outfits are rarely offered at auction.
