Description

Beige 100% Nomex coveralls personally owned and worn by Apollo moonwalker Charles Conrad, no size (likely medium), with the inner left chest retaining the original “Flight Suits Limited” and cleaning instruction labels, with the latter marked in black ink, “Pete Conrad.” The left and right chest areas are stitched with green lettering: “McDonnell Douglas” and “Conrad.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Stephen Hankow of Farthest Reaches, who states: “The McDonnell Douglas coveralls…come from the personal wardrobe of Astronaut Pete Conrad who owned and wore them. They come from the Charles Conrad Family Collection.”

After retiring from NASA and the Navy in 1973, Conrad went to work for American Television and Communications Company before eventually accepting a position with McDonnell Douglas as a vice president and consultant in 1976. Two years later, he became vice president of marketing and was responsible for the commercial and military sales of Douglas Aircraft Company. At the time of his death in 1999, Conrad was serving as staff vice president of international business development.
