custom lettering embroidered on the coat of your choice and it will be a 44 year younger coat. and can match the car's paint-interior too.

See if you can find a seamstress in your local area and they could make a copy for you.

the classified section would be a better choice than this tech forum:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...57/?prefixid=1

also search and watch ebay and craigslist.

I bought a Vintage 76 Corvette jacket on ebay. It was black satin with a red thread top stitching for the 75-76 cloisonne emblem on the back. I knew it was vintage because it was made in the USA, ha!

I would check ebay, and good luck as I think this kind of stuff is hard to find. You might have to look awhile.

Or buy a jacket from a Corvette vendor and there are some fancy computer sewing machines that will sew anything from a PDF or JEP. This is how the Corvette clubs get their unique emblems sewed on stuff. However the up front cost to digitize the emblem for the sewing machine used to be expensive.

Hope this might help and good luck.
