Replacing knit cuffs on original vintage A-2 deck jacket

[mumpy]

Hi there,

I would like to replace the knit cuffs on my original A-2 deck jacket as they are worn out. Any ideas as to where I could buy matching replacement ones?

Thanks!

Never ever saw some for sale - mayve you can get in touch with 5Star - they use to have khaki-colored knittings for their A2 jackets ...

Might not be a 100% color-match but better than nothing

Yeah we still do repairs. You can email me regarding them. Certain repairs we prefer to take during summer months when work load is a little more relaxed

You may want to check with specialized vintage clothing or military surplus stores. They often carry replacement parts or may be able to direct you to someone who can help with restoring original pieces. Online platforms like Etsy or forums dedicated to vintage military clothing might also have recommendations from fellow enthusiasts.
