Finding good replacement knits for A2 in Europe market + what is the result when replaced ?

[LV426]

hello , I think all is the titlle . I own an old Pearl Harbour ELC and they definitely need some new knits ( see pics ) . I know a good leather craftsman who ould do the job .
I'm living near Paris , so in the European market , I saw some in ETSY but from GB . The price is afordable but I would like to leave all the customs taxes and TVA plus delay .
Anyone have photos of jackets that had the same job on ? ( I saw a thread on fedora lounge , but rather to ask the question here ). The prob arent the holes but there is no more elasticity.
ThanX ! UPDATE : It seems that the same type of question has been posed earlier this year . Not quite the same . I found a link , this is it , what your thoughs ?

So, those ETSY knits, stay away. Far away. They have a seam, as you can see. Not authentic.
Original knits do not have a seam. Your ELC deserves better.

Your options:

1. Get a local person to carefully darn the holes. Kick the problem down the road.
2. Send the jacket to ELC, they will replace the knits and do a proper job of it.
3. Purchase replacement knits and roll the dice with someone near you. Do it properly or you could devalue your jacket.
(Look at the recent Monarch G-1 post, B-Man just posted. Look at that horrible overstitching. You cant undo that).
Replacement parts from Eastman, MASH Japan or Headwind mfg

Thank you for the advices ! about the 1st solution , I will ask to the craftsman I know . About the second , it will coast an arm to do so . 3rd , it's what about i'm thinking after reading your response . Puchasing the replacements from ELC or Headwin . ELC I think , the 3 A2 I own are ELC , except a 5Star .
