WWI/WWII Green Wool Patch Material Question

Recommended Posts

Well, I want to make a patch that was on the green wool like the WWI PFC round patches (same as other rank patches, etc. Also seen some WWII unit patches on similar fabric). Well, even with over 100 colours of specialty wool felt, I don't have a colour that matches. Does anyone know if there is a way to get some wool like those patches are made of? You know, can you find unused wool or is there a blanket or uniform part that is really similar? Hoping that someone who knows the patches can compare items to see. Thanks for any thoughts!

It's a tough one really in regards to using period WWI uniforms and or WWII-50s blankets, one would be loathed to cut these up, so unless you find and buy a totally distressed item, one that's totally shot, we wouldn't advise you go there.

 

Cloth of this type is out there for sure, as there are a ton of companies that make repro WWI uniforms, but I've haven't the foggiest notion on where they acquire their OD wool, perhaps others can lend their aid.

I have a tattered blanket and could send a piece.I have thought about cutting it up for backround in riker cases but its on the "to do list" that keeps growing ;)
