I thought he meant Willis & Geiger, but I would like to find a C2 repro as well if someone would point me in the right direction please.WPG or another? I wouldn't mind one but can't justify the $200 versions.

How's the C-2 repro? The only "C-2" vest I have is unmarked with a Talon brass zip so guessing probably Korean Conflict era. The fleece is a rigger made deal. I had another C-1 by Sears that had the holster cut off but can't find it. The C-2 would be quite functional today maybe with a rigger-added pocket.I’ve got two repros , an ELC A-1 mechanics sweater and a Pike brothers C-2 vest.
Nice. I'd wear one in my size. Especially right now in the Midwest! Does anyone know much about the Red Cross movement during the war where sweaters were knitted presumably by housewives and given to the war cause?

Nice sweaters! Though not an official piece of flight gear, I was happy to pick up this minty Korean War dated 5-button sweater. Same construction as WW2 production and lovingly used in both wars
TimThat high neck one is really, really nice. Anyone make a repro of those?
