Gentlemen!
While waiting for my L-2a to arrive from somewhere in the next to last galaxy in our universe as it seems I took delivery of this beast today...
Since I had seen a picture of Boone Guyton in front of a SB2U wearing a 37J1 adorned with a then unknown patch to me, I wanted the jacket.
That was taken care of when BR released their repro of this great jacket last year and I was lucky enough to get one in a comfy 44 size.
The patch proved tougher to get...luckily I had bought a good book about USN prewar carrier aviation and lo and behold, it also contained a picture and a reproduction of what i finally was able to identify as VB-2 squadron patch.
As I had come across Miro on IG and liked his works from what I saw, I contacted him and asked if it would be possible for him to do that patch. He agreed and about two weeks later I received it and was amazed about the quality.
My tailor did the rest and today I got back from he the result...stunning I have to say!
A big thanks to Miro and of course my tailor.
If you need a painted leather patch, I can only recommend Miro wholeheartedly! A great guy to deal with and the quality speaks for itself!
Cheers
