Originals weren't made of silk, they were of rayon, not much of a difference when considering for an inside pocket anyway as both are a poor choice. Very weak materials unless you back them with something.
Some Korean War blood chits were made from very heavy cotton, almost canvas like (I have one) so this could be a go for the OP and they do pop up fairly often. And there were a LOT of WWII era A-2s worn during the Korean conflict.
Adds some nice Jabby Jabara chic to an A-2
There ya go, I don't make KW's but whatever floats his boat. Initially, he mentioned nothing of a Blood Chit pocket, but I make one just for that purpose and have been doing them for a while so I made the suggestion. So just for CH*TS & GIGGLES
, I Chit you not
I could also make him a plain custom pocket out of leather, canvas, linen, or whatever. Could even be pre-punched with sewing holes for self installation using the loop stitch. I've got GOODWEAR Horsehide, Goatskin, Russet or Seal Brown, in the size of your choice. Hmmmmmnnnnn
the wheels are turning now. Give me the day and I'll have an example here.
