An ultimate winter coat with NASA-inspired technology

Designed by Steven B Wheeler, the Space Jacket is a lightweight thermal jacket that was made for space enthusiasts — but instead of being just a typical replica space jacket, it is "completely wearable and well-suited for space".

Wheeler, a long time NASA fan, designed the jacket as a tribute to the legacy of American spaceflight. "I wanted it to embody everything I loved about the space programme, and to serve as an actual flight jacket for presentday astronauts on missions to the ISS ( International Space Station)," Wheeler wrote on Betabrand.

The jacket was even modelled to look like the exterior of a Space Shuttle with quilted lines of stitching that resemble the surface of a spacecraft.



Needless to say, this jacket would be the perfect thing to take with you on those possible future space travel expeditions — or just to use on a really chilly day.

It will cost $265 (Rs 16,390 approx.) and is expected to ship in March 2015.
