Steven B. Wheeler is the creator of the Space Jacket, a stylish coat for men that allows individuals to feel like astronauts in their everyday lives. This sleek white jacket was very recently released by Betabrand, and was inspired by astronaut EVA suits. This stylish piece is perfect for men who love sci-fi.
While the fashion industry often plays around with the idea of futuristic fashion in outrageously eye-catching ways, the Space Jacket does so in a way that blends futuristic elements with present-day style.
This jacket is awesome because it’s as practical as it is fashion forward. Wheeler lined the Space Jacket with silver nylon, which helps to reflect body heat, keeping consumers nice and warm.
As Lance Bass proved years ago, not everyone can go to space. But this jacket can help people grounded on Earth to feel like astronauts while looking out of this world.
