Anyone know where I can get this or is MASH Japan the only real solution?

I know it’s not the UK … but At the Front was selling different colors of WWII thread .
Don’t know if it will help but here’s the website .

I have already purchased sewing thread, rivets and various other separate parts from Aero leather.

Plenty of suppliers - unless of course you want it made from 1938 vintage sheep

Google No 16 brown cotton thread but you will need to select the right shade of brown.

I have a feeling you wouldn’t have a problem with how “colourful “ I can be, but on a public forum I’ll watch my step.
