Thanks for the info.  Interesting...

Other old clothes can be "recycled" by dropping them off at Animal Shelters to be used as rags or bedding for the shelter animals. Stained and "raggy" towels and other textiles are also useful to the shelters.

Better than donations to charity, more value-add than quilting from
clothing scraps, launch your suit into orbit! This fabulous news from

SUITSAT:  On February 3rd, astronauts plan to hurl an old spacesuit
overboard from the International Space Station.  The disembodied suit,
nicknamed "SuitSat," will proceed to circle Earth, transmitting a
radio message which anyone can hear using a police scanner or a ham
radio tuned to 145.990 MHz FM.  This strange experiment is a test of a
sensible idea--that old spacesuits might be transformed into useful
satellites.
