STEVE MCQUEEN SCREEN-WORN LE MANS FIRE RETARDANT RACING SUIT STEVE MCQUEEN SCREEN-WORN LE MANS FIRE RETARDANT RACING SUIT - Solar Productions/Cinema Center Films, 1971) Designed to protect the driver from burning petrol, this is Steve McQueen's size Medium, "Atlas Flame Beaters" racing under suit. This is a full, 2-piece set of flame retardant long underwear worn by McQueen while driving racecars during filming of Le Mans. High-speed racers wear these types of lightweight flame resistant underwear to protect themselves from fire during crashes as well as for insulation from engine heat. The suit is made of stretch knit, flame-resistant, fire-retardant fabric with elasticized neck, waist, sleeves and legs for snug fit. There is a 1 in. hole from a snag in the center of the chest. This under suit shows signs of wear and soiling from heavy production use. The suit was acquired along with Steve McQueen's Gulf jacket from Le Mans.Auction Info
