Cool stuff. Thanks for posting.
First pic is a reminder that Wiley Post doesn't get enough recognition for his aviation pioneering.

I love those boots on that first suit. Wouldn't mind having a pair like that.

The gloves remind me of the ones we would use for handling concertina wire (but probably no metal in the palms).
