Museum-grade replica Apollo-era NASA flight jacket

I watched MythBusters the other night, Adam had his jacket on during quite a few scenes. I just realized my biggest hangup with this jacket, it's the color. A little odd, given these jackets were late 60s, but, I remember baby blue as a sissy color! Of course, the Astronauts didn't have to worry about being called any such name. Is that the same today like say yellow, the cowered color, or pink? Although pink was in vogue in the late 50s, Tuxedo Black & Pink.

I think I would feel like a poser wearing that jacket. I don't know why after all, I have worn A2 jackets, (never with wings on it) and I was never an Air Force pilot! Just something about the original Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo astronauts, the elite of the elite. Like wearing SAS wings, or Seal badge.

Folks on here do it all the time with A2s.
