Apollo Constant Wear Garment made for preflight exercises and training at the Johnson Space Center. The off-white zip-up undergarment features small pockets to right chest and left and right shin sections identified as “Dosimeter” 1-3, with inside collar area marked twice with size "Small Short." In very good to fine condition, with expected signs of use, including scattered staining, a few small holes, and some short tears along seams.
The Constant Wear Garment (CWG) is a one-piece cotton undergarment designed to be worn against the skin and provide general comfort, absorb perspiration, and hold the biomedical instrumentation system. It absorbs excess body moisture and prevents the crewman's skin form becoming chafed by the pressure garment assembly. The CWG is donned and doffed through the front opening, which is kept closed by five buttons. Although it may be worn under either the CMP or EV pressure garments, it is normally used during IV phases of the mission or during EVA work from the CM.
