Repro Kangol decals?

Post by zbarbera »

I've seen the repro decals for the plastic type buckles. But is there anything out there for the alloy buckles?

Found 'em! Not the same bubble texture, but beggars can't be choosers.

It's the sticker guy from fleabay but he sells stuff here that is not there.

Really think you should add that link amongst the 'Useful web-links' :)

Wait'll I get my stickers to evaluate the quality. But, good call!

Thanks for the link.

Zbarbera, if you do order some of these please post your comments on the stickers here. I would like to know what you think of them before I order some. Thanks!

Got the decals but then had to get down to the barn to get the Kangols :)

So here is the buckle with the decal. Looks good, I'd say. And since you're not going to find them elsewhere, not much of a choice :)

Here is a NOS one that just sold on fleaBay, for comparison. Interestingly,a good number of alloy Kangols seem to have come up recently. Of course, when I was looking it took forever to find one.

And I guess I was wrong. They are not bubble textured. The only other one I had seen was a picture at an angle and it looked like the decal was raised.

Interesting that my earlier ones (see Ebay / for sale section ;) ) don't have the dimple for the sticker, and none is shown in the earlier period advert for them, but they are shown in the '64 advert, but still with the alloy hook section of the earlier design. so possibly the sticker must have come in during the '62-64 period

This guy sells the foil decals. Best to send him a message via ebay. Thanks to Z for the info.
