WEP jacket cuff question (with new pictures now)

Re: WEP jacket cuff question

TCWU,
Checked my originals one from the late 50s and the other from 63 and neither have cuffs like that. Both have one piece very thin knits. I like you really like the Wep jacket.

Interesting. I have glanced at those jackets before but I never noticed that v cuff. Its a great detail but I wonder why its there? How would one go about getting a vintage example re-cuffed?

Flightsuits (Gibson & Barnes) offers a WEP with what they refer to as the original deep-cut knits. (I've never seen one in person.) I don't know if they would do repairs, but they might be willing to sell a set of knits if they manufacture the jacket on site.

Cheers,

Mac
