Period correct construction made of period correct 100% wool felt (Expensive!!!!!) Lafayette Escadrille insignia stitched using 100% cotton thread. Not saying this was ever used as a patch in this form or colors, just that the method was widely used during WW1 so I decided to take a whirl at it. Right down to the decorative zig-zag stitching around the perimeter, a very period accurate patch in its own right. The wool A-1 jacket (anyone know the maker? I need a button) has been hanging in my closet for years with little use if any so it ended up being the perfect home for this patch. I've got 3 other Indian heads that I'll be finishing up over the week using some different color combinations, so if anyone would like one the opportunity is there for custom backing. The expense and difficulty of these make them a little pricey at 150- but I don't think you'll find this option anywhere else......at least for a while til someone else decides to hop on board.
