Rare period jacket associated with early Space Shuttle support operations at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards Air Force Base.
This jacket was acquired from a private family estate in Palmdale, California, adjacent to Edwards AFB, and originates from a household active in the region during the late 1960s–1970s, coinciding with early Shuttle development and testing programs. This piece has remained in private family possession until the present sale. No restoration or alteration has been performed. The jacket is presented in original condition.
The back of the jacket features the printed designation "NASA Dryden Shuttle Support Team," while the front chest reads "CAL-WEST," believed to reference a regional aerospace contractor or support organization operating in Southern California during this period.
Manufactured by Swingster – World of Wearables, a well-documented producer of industrial and institutional jackets widely used in aerospace, motorsport, and military-adjacent environments during the 1960s–1970s.
* Condition: Very good vintage condition; original, unaltered
