Hi Befobe
You may read that I found a stash of vintage 1970's Velcro loop tape, and got mixed up with attribution. Been waiting until I could source a good picture of the thickness of real NASA Velcro straps, this one is 19" long as used on Gemini missions and Apollo cuff checklists.
Joseph Bonnie/ Peter Czernin appear to use a particularly thin type of Velcro brand "Velours" which isn't even the normal Velcro brand hook and loop tape, which looks similar to

Perhaps some people just prefer Joseph Bonnie NASA straps, I get that. But there's a claim that they're almost identical to those NASA used, and I don't think that's accurate.The real stuff is a mare to sew, it really needs the binding tape to reinforce it.
Velcro wars, hahaha!
