Chris Boonzaier Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I good friend knew i have been looking for a set of 88s for years and years and years... he had 3 straps... 2 matched perfectly from behind (lets call them 1 and 2) 1 and 2 had the backs made with scraps of material. However 1 + 2 were different on the front... well, technically the same, however, you could see a different person had sewn them, taking more or less care on different parts.... strap 3 was totally different on the back, but it looks to be the same hand that made the front as strap 1. Am I right in thinking the fronts were hand sewn on a sheet, cut out, and delivered to the next clothing factory who sewed them together using whatever backing was left over? Anyway, I am very happy, matching fronts were more important to me... and this will go on my Feldgrau tunic where the wearer was originally in the 88....

ccj Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Look nice and I’m happy you finally found a pair. I know how it feels to search years for a specific set of straps. please show us if you add to your tunic. BTW, interesting theory on strap production. I have no clue what process was used and I’ve never given it thought. I bet chip has a theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
