That would depend on what country you live in.

Here's a nice option that you install yourself using a loop stitch.Toddo said:

Aero Leather also sell silk blood chits etc suitable for use as inside pockets

Or you could simply contact a local tailor and have them sew one in leather or a suitable matching lining or do it yourself - copy the design from a jacket pocket you like.

Originals weren't made of silk, they were of rayon, not much of a difference when considering for an inside pocket anyway as both are a poor choice. Very weak materials unless you back them with something.
And yes, the obvious choice is a local tailor

Some Korean War blood chits were made from very heavy cotton, almost canvas like (I have one) so this could be a go for the OP and they do pop up fairly often. And there were a LOT of WWII era A-2s worn during the Korean conflict.
Adds some nice Jabby Jabara chic to an A-2

There ya go, I don't make KW's but whatever floats his boat. Initially, he mentioned nothing of a Blood Chit pocket, but I make one just for that purpose and have been doing them for a while so I made the suggestion. So just for CH*TS & GIGGLES
, I Chit you not I could also make him a plain custom pocket out of leather, canvas, linen, or whatever. Could even be pre-punched with sewing holes for self installation using the loop stitch. I've got GOODWEAR Horsehide, Goatskin, Russet or Seal Brown, in the size of your choice. Hmmmmmnnnnn
the wheels are turning now. Give me the day and I'll have an example here.

OK, done in an hour. Thanks for the inspiration fellas. I'm calling this my "Rigger made Pocket" for self installation on the interior of the A2 Flight Jacket. One in Russet Goatskin, and one inspired by my good mate Couchy. You can order in a custom size and material providing I have it in stock.Standard size is as seen with the camouflage example. If ordering for a cell phone in particular, add one inch to the sides and a half inch short vertically for the perfect custom fit and an easy grab

Sold! First "Rigger Made Pocket" Thanks Toddo. I'll be making this a regular item in my store soon. In the mean time feel free to contact me if you want one. At some point in the near future I intend to buy a special purpose sewing machine with an arm that reaches up into shoulder, under linings, etc. so I'll be able to apply anything I make or that needs stitching to your jacket.
