I have had a real deal for a few years now, it's a great jacket but i find for me it is not all that comfortable to wear. I am 6' and 185 lbs. I wear a size 44, I have broad shoulders and a long torso. The jacket is a little tighter across the back than I would like it to be, and I wish it was...

Been doing some research today I think I am going to give this stuff a try. http://www.liquitex.com/techniques/fabricpainting/ I will go pick some up this weekend and see how it goes. Anyone have any experience with it?

Scott, I was thinking of trying acrylics also. I look forward to hearing about your results and I will let you know my results also! Thanks. Chad

Hello Everyone, I have a repro. M-1941 feild jacket that I would like to do some stenciling on and possibly some other artwork. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction as far as the right type of paint to use on fabric. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Chad

Awesome thanks, yes that makes since. I have not taken it apart yet although where it is frayed it appears to be layers of canvas that seems to have some sort of coating on it. Thanks for your help!

Thanks! What did you use for the bills on the sqaudron caps and the A-3. I have a worn out eastman A-3 that I would like to use as a pattern to make a new one. Trying to source materials. Thanks for sharing! Chad

Great work on your caps. Would you mind sharing what you use for the stiff bill material? Thanks, Chad

Yes I did, but seeing how this thread has been dead for three years I thought I would ask here first. Thanks.

Does anyone know where I can buy olive drab hbt fabric by the yard? I have not had any luck in my search so far. Thanks Chad

Are these T-shirts still being made, not seeing anything on their website?
