Astronaut Buzz Aldrin's jacket, worn during his first mission to the moon's surface in 1969, was auctioned off by Sotheby's for nearly $2.8 million to an anonymous bidder on July 26, 2022. The jacket, also worn by Neil Armstrong, was part of a complete Inflight Coverall Garment (ICG), which included trousers and custom-made boots. This allowed the astronauts to change out of the full-pressure suits they wore during launch.

Before the Apollo 1 fire in 1967, spacesuits and in-flight gear were made of flammable materials like nylon. The tragedy prompted a review of the suit's design, leading to modifications such as the development of a fireproof alternative called Beta Cloth, a Teflon-coated silica fiber cloth similar to fiberglass. The jacket belonged to the Aldrin Family Trust. NASA transferred Armstrong's jacket to the National Air and Space Museum in 1974. According to the organization, it is not on display but is either on loan or in storage as of 2024.
