  • Re-striping a shell jacker

    Is there anyone out there who can rest ripe an artillery shell jacket.

    As in putting the tape back on a MSJ from which the tape was removed. Is the rest of the jacket hand or machine sewn?

      It appears to be hand sewn.

        Was any of the tape formerly set ins to the seams, especially where the back seam meets the arm? Replacing tape can definitely be done by hand as opposed to machine sewn as that would require some disassembly work.

          Hallo!

          IIRC...

          He had posted the same on the CW Reenactors' (Szabo's) board and after a discussion was given a possible source to do the work.
