Juien's Auctions offers the following description:

A special-effects flying costume worn by Christopher Reeve in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (Cannon/Golan - Globus, 1987 ). The multi-piece bodysuit consists of a custom blue knit leotard with the stylized Superman logo sewn into the front, a zipper closure in back, and an embroidered Bermans and Nathans costumer tag with faded typed text reading "Christopher Reeve - 4913 Flying - Superman IV.” The distinctive design of the neckline exactly matches the on-screen look. The leotard also has four large snaps on the shoulders where the cape attaches. A pair of matching knit tights and red trunks with added belt loops are included, all with similar Bermans and Nathans tags. The feet of the tights are made of a softer knit for added comfort and are woven seamlessly into the tights. The shimmering material is woven in the distinctive pattern used exclusively by Bermans and Nathans for all their production-made Superman costumes. The trunks and leotard have sewn-in slots where cables would be attached to a flying harness worn under the costume. The lot is completed with a calf-length red cape with attached embroidered yellow with black Superman logo that matches the chest logo. The shoulder and upper back area of the cape has a padded panel and straps that tie under the arms and behind the back to secure the cape. Accompanied by a copy of the film.
