oooogleea kdkjgp sadgls dklbbbbbbiorl[a. Droooooooooooooooooooooooooooool. I'm speechless and totally incoherent. I've drooled all over myself. Thanks ever so much for this link.

Now that's how you make a first rate patch. You can't help but love it.

Wheter it's a G-1 or an A2, I think "2" is the operative word. Outstanding.

The leather is way too slick for a good A2. The Goodwear is still the gold standard in my book. I just wish they weren't so expensive.

I have an original A11 but it doesn't work anymore. The closest thing I found is a Swiss Army watch in the A11 style but no one in their right mind would ever mistake it for the real thing.

The first jacket I ever bought was a Cockpit jacket when they first opened up and they were the only maker of repro A2s. I had just gotten into the Air Force and was bitten by the history bug. I originally wanted a B3 but my wife at the time talked me out of it. I went back a couple of years...

I was going to make a snappy comment about the last picture but all I could think of was "humina humina humina".

I generally use Sobo glue and then do the sewing. Otherwise, I've got leather pieces all over the place. I don't use a special sauce but Im pretty sure it would definitely help me. I just did my first 14 piece patch. The second attempt turned out a lot better than the first which I seemed to...

And she's wearing the Flying Tiger scarf too. She definitely gets my vote. The good thing is she looks a lot better in your jackets than I do in mine. I wonder why that is. :lol:

Agreed. The tiger should always be on the rise.

That's an incredible haul. I'm sitting here drooling over these pics.

The best patchwork I've ever seen. I make patches like these also but compared to a2's work, mine look like a kid with two crayons, safety scissors and a piece of string made them. First rate all the way.

Definitely show us the pics. With a little creativity and some 320 grit black wet dry sandpaper, I'm sure you can touch it up with no problem.

Thanks a2. My wife just got the replacement manual for her machine. A little fiddling and I should have just enough info to sew my fingers together. You do some fantastic work, my friend.

I'm surprised I missed this thread. These are the best AVG patches I've seen yet. What kind of sewing machine are you using for the stitching?
