Replacement A2 knits & hardware

[Asienizen]

Hi folks,
I was just thinking about making an A2 jacket, but I can't seem to find a website where I can get quality wool knits and other things like snaps and zippers for it. I can get the leather and thread quite easily, but the trim that gives it that look of authenticity is not so straightforward it seems.

Where can I find good knits and fittings to make a quality A2?

Thanks.

Gibson & Barnes in the US used to sell their knits, and are good quality. You could try shooting them a message...

Also MASH, Japan are known for their quality knits and zippers...

I got my NOS 30's Talon from Mash.

MASH are great. Bought knits and a few NOS Talon zippers from them. Even got an NOS Talon puller from them saving me buying a complete zipper. Service is exceptional.

Thanks for your help y'all. I'll bookmark this information for future reference. We'll see if I can get a quality A2 built here in Vietnam.
