So I bought this 1942 hook deck jacket from Pike Bros and got it for $160 because the hooks they had on it were really bad. It has a wool blanket lining and is so well made (except the hooks).
I found some hooks on line but unfortunately the company didn't have any more gun metal so I had to buy antique brass. I think I got all they had because they no longer list them on their site but I think they were from a manufacturer in Italy.
Heres the new hooks that are just terrific and work really well.
I had a local tailor install them and I also bought a 1942 NOS Talon from MASH. That is another thing that Pike Bros should have had on the jacket.
Jacket now and it is terrific.
