We are pleased to offer AUTHENTiC Leather U.S. MiLiTARY Patches, for your A-2 or G-1 (or other) MiLiTARY jacket, for your collection, for framing, or to honor a loved one or friend who has served in the U.S. Armed Forces!!!

Produced by one of the leading artists and recreators of U.S. Leather MiLiTARY patches for the last 30 years, using authentic methods, designs and materials that the U.S. Navy and Army Air Force did during WW2, our artist has made thousands of leather U.S. Military Patches for WW2 aces, collectors, loved ones of Veterans, and active U.S. Military Personnel who want the best and most accurate and authentic work on their jackets!

From his own library of 1000s of authentic designs, our U.S. Military patch artist also will make a leather patch from authentic designs you may provide, full size on a color Xerox, from a patch you or a loved one wore, or one you want in your collection that you have seen in a photograph, or from a book such as the bible of flight jacket Militaria, ‘American Flight Jackets’ by Maguire and Conway.

My love of U.S. Leather Military Patches, their history and their use on A-2, G-1 and other classic U.S. Military leather flight jackets, brought me to perhaps the best recreator and current producer of Leather U.S. Military patches, and he is now making these for us. Leather is the first and best choice of material for patches in WW2, and to this day. And it looks, and holds up, as great as your jacket.

A dear friend gave me an authentic VF-3 Felix the cat (carrying the bomb, see below) felt-embroidered patch. It was beautiful, but I knew it would never hold up, nor match the beauty, of my G-1 jacket. Only leather could be as authentic, and beautifully durable, as the U.S. military leather jacket it was to go on. Through much research, I found the artist who produces for the true collectors, and former WW2 aces and pilots when they want an authentic leather military patch.

Two samples of the work is shown below, a WW2 Seabees patch, and the U.S. Naval fighter group patch that brought me to the world of patches, the VF-3 Felix and bomb patch. This is the original design, from the WW2 ‘Fighting Three’ VF-3 group, a design that is arguably the most popular of all WW2 U.S. Military leather patches, or patches period. It has been copied and used by proceeding U.S. fighter groups from the VF-6 to the VF-31, into the jet age. Felix rules!

But remember, we can produce any design, though size and complexity may add to the price. Our normal patch is regulation 5 to 6" (current day patches are just over 4"). Price for our standard U.S. Military Leather Patch is $75. Premium leather is used, along with the finest oil based paint pigments, and the same process of sculpting the design into the leather prior to filling in with paint, is used as it was in WW2!

These patches are as durable as the originals from WW2, which are still on many jackets today. However, many collectors have put our patches under glass behind a frame alongside documents or signatures from pilots and aces from WW2, Korea, and other actions.

Just one quote from our artist to give an idea of what type of work he does: "One veteran was nearly in tears when I sent him his patch, he had been trying to find an original and you know how hard they are to find...he called me and I could tell it was all he could do to keep from crying on the phone. It really makes it worthwhile when you get a call like that!"

Need we say more? Turnaround time is approximately 2 weeks.

Whether you wish to kick around with one of our classic vintage milspec U.S. Military leather flight jackets (just look through our site to find one), or you are spending a $1000 for an accurate WW2 high-end authentic replicated jacket, you can’t do better than put one of these patches on your jacket.

BELOW, along with two samples of his work, is another by our artist: a framed famous 'Joker' leather patch, design from WW2, signed by a member of the squad and POW of Stalag Luft 1, and framed by a major collector!
