    One of the signs accompanying the CWG.  It reads
     
     
 
    Constant Wear Garment
    A one-piece constant wear garment, similar to long underwear with feet, was
    worn by Apollo astronauts throughout every flight.  The garment is made of a
    porous knit cotton.  Notice the small pockets for
    holding dosimeters to check for radiation exposure.  The biomedical
    harness attaches to the reinforced
    rectangular panel.  Sensor wires from the harness are supported by fabric
    loops and enter the suit through buttonhole-like slits.
     
    The garment on display was worn by Ohio astronaut Jim Lovell, who flew on the
    Apollo 8 and Apollo 13 missions.
     
 
    Based on the serial number, I would guess
    that this garment was used on Apollo 13 (the serial number is 1131, while a CWG worn
    by Frank Borman on Apollo 8 has a serial number of 1116).
