CACW / Flying Tigers / A-2 Squadron Patch

[442RCT]

Damned great looking patch, but it'd cost as much as one of my jackets.

Sean Collins is making terrific layered leahter patches! I would like to think I had a hand with this one (but I didn't). I have been emailing him a little and passed along photos of an original CACW patch. He said he had seen it a few weeks back and it was on his list of "to do's" I just emailed him ordering a breast patch sized version of this one. Yes, probably one of the coolest WWII patches ever. There are photos of a jacket with this patch on it at cbiunithistory.com (or something like that). My original Aero needs a breast patch and this just might do it.

Damn! That's alot of money for a repro patch.
I do agree that Sean does great work. I had him fill some stitch holes in a repro A-2
jacket a few years back. His patches have come a long way since back then.

Just curious-how much does a breast sized patch run?
thanks,

the CACW is one of the most complex layered leather insignias to reproduce. They run around $200. A lesser breast patch would be the $100-150 range.
