W535 - AC27402 There is also a white tag attached below the embroidered tag with the number: 632361 The shoulders measure app. 18" across, the sleeves are app. 22" in length, the length from the bottom of the collar to the bottom of the crotch is app. 32" and the overall length is app. 59" not including the collar or cuffs. The external connectors to accept electricity have been removed from this suit and are missing. There is moderate to minimal wear to the blue material and the knit cuffs as seen in the photos and overall I would judge the material to be in good condition.
