Water bottles

[ron]

Hi everyone, I have put this query in the carrier forum. but I guess it covers a few others besides, My question is,does anyone have a source of supply for the felt that is used to cover the Aust water bottles that are found in carriers and other vehicles, I will need quite a bit of it as I have a couple of dozen bottles that require recovering.
Thanks in advance, Regards Ron

Have you tried Disposals stores for the Vietnam era individual blanket? It's not Felt, but a wool/nylon blend and the colour/texture is about right.

Ron,

I believe you can purchase covers from Jerry Lee at What Price Glory in the USA.

Cheers

Hi Brad,
Thanks for your reply regarding the water bottle covers, do you have a contact address for the guy in the states? and will his covers fit our Aust water bottles, thanks in advance.

Sabre Sales in the UK used to have both British and Canadian Covers in stock. Quite what their current stock is I do not know.

British waters bottle covers were changed to a green felt during the 1930's whilst the Canadian's continued making the WW1 Tan colour. Not sure what the Austrailan pattern looks like.
