retro Peugeot jersey

I'm looking for a retro-style (retro style, modern fabric) Peugeot jersey as worn by Tom Simpson in 1967. This the classic Michelin Peugeot b&w check jersey with 'BP' on the sleeve and the British flag on the shoulders. 

I've spent some time on-line and can find several Michelin Peugeot jerseys available (shops and private ebay sales) with a design that comes close to the one worn by Simpson in all the  well-known images (inc the fatal day on Ventoux), but most seem to have Shell or Esso on the sleeve, and none I can see have the flag on the shoulders.  

If anyone can point me towards an exact replica, I'd be grateful.

Thanks

David

I can't vouch for the quality but the eBay seller world-of-jersey does one for less than £25. BP only though, no flags.

This is the closest you will get, I know of none with the flags on the shoulders as I believe these were sown on by himself and not part of the original design
