This garment was worn by astronaut Fred Haise during training for the Apollo 13 mission in April, 1970.

During the Apollo missions, the astronauts were able to change out of the full pressure suit they wore during launch, into a lightweight four-piece garment known as Inflight coveralls.

The garment is constructed of a Teflon-coated beta cloth which is highly fire resistant, and the "slippery" qualities of the fabric enabled the astronaut to don and doff the garment with ease in a weightless environment.

Transferred from NASA in 1979.
