Question: what thread would you recommed using to affix a name tag to an A-2? If it matters, the jacket is a RMNZ Dubow in russet and the name tag is a bit darker but close to the jacket's shade.
I'm sure these were originally sewn with whatever thread was available and would guess that to be OD? Any chance I'll get an accurate/authentic enough job by having my local leather guru sew it on with some modern OD thread? Or should I look to order some thread from MASH or scour Ebay for something more appropriate? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
It is nice to have a jacket to be asking about again. I've been the occassional lurker here for months but haven't been active since the last site crash. I think that was around the time of Senicko's departure and the dust up over the guy who was pretending to be an ex-Navy pilot. Everyone playing nicely these days?
Thanks in advance for your help guys.
