TGO Morale Patches

[TGO David]

I know... the stainless steel tumblers aren't up for sale yet and here I am talking about something else.  Well, the tumblers should be posted on Monday (Memorial Day) and we'll do a pre-order window of about two weeks for them before I put the order in with the supplier, but I have something else in the works too.

A few months ago we talked about doing some morale patches.  It didn't get off the ground at the time, but I've sent out the proof image shown below to a few suppliers and am starting to get pricing back.  I intend to move forward with these pretty soon as well.

Right now I've been soliciting suppliers of PVC patches because they're a little cheaper and look better than embroidery, in my opinion, but I am willing to send it out to some embroidery shops also.

Let me know what you think.  I am also going to send our circular "icon" over to them to see what pricing looks like on them too.  But these rectangular patches would be the typical 3" wide by 2" tall design that fits most hats, jackets and packs with velcro tabs on them.

looks good, will be keeping an eye open

I'll definitely be in on these. Prefer embroidered, but cool with pvc. 

[TGO David]

I'm thinking I may have them texturize the red "field" of the flag and make the center icon 3-Dimensional.

[nightrunner]

Id prefer embroidered as well but in for either one

[Sidecarist]

I'd be in for either with a slight lean toward embroidered. 

What about a matching 1x3in patch for the back if most hats that spells out Tennessee Gun Owners Fourm, or the Web address?

I'd prefer embroidered but will buy either

What I've found with embroidered patches so far is that they require minimum quantities that exceed what we'll likely order.

Just to get some clarification the pcv will have raised areas or will it just be like a sticker on a piece of velcro?

The intent is for it to have some dimensional characteristics but I do not have one in my hands to tell you what it's like.  This is all very preliminary.

Would good on some IDPA vests. I have a few PVC patches and they tend to do well even if they look bulky.

Spiffy would know. He's got a ton of patches. All different types...

[musicman]

I'm in for a couple of whatever.

I'm the oddball here, but I'd prefer PVC (I get stuff dirty easy and this logo has white in it). I like the idea of a round one, it would be a little different. Regardless, I'm in with whatever you get done...always happy to fly my favorite colors, thanks David.

It dont matter as to the material... Think about doin an earth tone one for us "covert" low key operatives...

 

low key leroy...

[Mindless-Focus]

Just throwing this out there. You might want to try http://patriotpatch.co for manufacture. They make quality patches. 

[McGarrett]

I'm interested in pvc but would also like embroidered. +1 on leroy's earth tone option. 

I have seen this custom patch shop on the net; http://www.camotech.com/index.htm

I don't have any personal experience with them but it looks like their minimum is low and they are a small business. Might be worth checking into.

[Defender]

I like morale patches and have several.  Ive found the PVC do well and look good too.  Im in.

[Mindless-Focus]

Oh, I'm in as well.
