I bid on this on eBay but it wasn't at all what it was listed as. It's a child XL size, not an adult as listed. It's also VERY dirty, I'd think a dry cleaning can fix that. The main zipper is broken, too.
That said, these are pretty rare and it's a halfway decent representation of the early shuttle crew jackets.
First $15.00 (postage included in the USA) takes it...

I think they actually sold jackets like these or similar to them into the early 90s i remember seeing them there in 91 though i think they had a black collar more like some of the dark blue ones do now by then. I would have lioved to have one back then but had limited spending money and already had gotten a flight suit one of the light blue ones that were still in use at camp till the late 90s or ealy 2000's. I'd love to find an adfult one like this in good shape now.

Yeah, same here. I got hosed on this eBay item.
Heck, I'm willing to sell it to someone on this forum ONLY for the postage costs. It'd only fit a small woman or a kid, though.
