Thanks mate!

This forum is incredible, because of its members, their knowledge and willingness to help others. That can't be said much these days in our society!

Much appreciated friend!

Pardon me, "suggestions."

Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks so much for the reply B-Man. A for profit company is proprietary. I doubt very much they would do that if they didn't make the jacket :( As others have said in another thread, contacting WPG is probably not the best course of action. You get what you pay for!!!

WOW, these must be rarer than I thought!!!

Then again, I believe the Irvin was worn LARGE, so a 50 it is. Does ANYONE sell repro buckles?

48 would probably work!

Hello, I have a WPG Irvin that needs a buckle (preferably in the US). As others have said, the WPG is cheap and breaks easily. I'd like to upgrade to an AERO (or Eastman) Irvin in 50 if anyone has one they are not using! Happy Holidays to all.

FANTASTIC! Where are you located? In stock? Can you message me with prices?

Thanks. Unfortunately I have been to plenty in the US that say they don't sew leather. Goatskin possibly. Horsehide is another matter.

We are definitely on the right track, thank you all. I have a couple talented guys who can paint it. Who could sew it on an A-2?

Gents, thanks so much!!! @Yardstick your incredible knowledge is much appreciated. As I said, this is for a friend so there will be some lag time as I show him. @Flightengineer if we have a good drawing (?) how much do you charge?

Hello, I have a friend whose father was a Navigator in the 94th BG. I want to help him get an A-2 to honor his father. Should the patch (attached) be felt or hand painted? Who can do this work REASONABLY? Thanks in advance!
