Rare right-handed Phase VI Space Shuttle glove restraint layer, with parts tag sewn on the back of the hand: "Item: Rest. Assy., Phase VI, Part No. 0106-812146-06(R), Serial No. PVU188, Size 6LL, Code ID 74897, MFG 4/02," struck through and annotated in red felt tip, "Class III." Sewn behind the wrist is another tag, reading: "Item: Phase VI Softgood Subassembly, Part No. 0106-212147-06, Serial No. PVU166, Size 6LL, Code ID 74897, MFG 6/02," also struck through in felt tip. The restraint layer fits over the plastic bladder layer that holds pressurized oxygen inside the glove, and restrains the interior from ballooning under pressure. The adjustable pulley and metal restraint system allows for a custom-fit. Includes the original bag with JSC Project Discrepant Parts Tag, with inspector's note of the "windowing/broken threads on the base of index finger."
