I do need some new carrier pigeons... Those last ones never made it back.

I would prefer a patch that can be put on a jacket as opposed to figuring out what to do with the leather.

Probably because the badger you won't get me ate them all.

I selected " I don't care "
But honestly maybe I do- after what Eric wrote.
Embroided does offer color, iron on and or sew it on.

 

[RobertD]

Check the pic at the top, the leather would be "sew on".

Agree that I'd like color, but these things aren't looking cheap for embroidery.

I'll do it if enough people want it, so make sure to vote if you do want embroidery.

Yeah, that's true unfortunately...(stitched being not cheap)

Ask what kind of code it'd take (different machines use different -mostly proprietary- formats)
and maybe I can save you the programming fee for that;
since that's always the biggest chunk of the first bill.

if it's going to be leather only, I'm out (orange leather or not )
since frankly.. that looks "cowboy" to me... and I'm way too far east for that

Yeah but that's hot right now. (Cue the "blue steel" look)



http://www.cafepress.com/+add_image_patches,1337379409 that shows a custom one-off one for 9 bucks, plus shipping I'd assume.

I found a couple other companies just googling around.

well..
50 pieces 100% coverage(up to 7 colors) 3" diameter $8.20 each with iron on heat seal
https://www.texasartemb.com/embroidered-emblems.html

but again, since 1000 pieces will clock in at 2.20 each it's still the program that causes most of it.
(I'll estimate that alone will be around 300'ish)

50 pieces at 8 bucks. Keep in mind only 12 people have voted, So I wonder is there Demand? I would like to have 3 or 4 but could not afford $35 U.S.
I am not saying dont do it, I just dont want you to get stuck with them.

I can do better than that; these guys can do 50 patches, 100% coverage (up to 12 colors), 3" diameter for $2.84 each plus free shipping & a free sample piece...

Iron on back add 12%

Nice find Tony, I'm sure with a bit more research we could find the cheapest possible solution....
but a chinese company might be indeed the cheapest labour you could find already.

All I wanted to state, that it can be done cheaper (and better) than that polyester print patch Robert linked

No more no less... I also included "texas" in my search to find something close to him...
since frankly, sometimes you need someone face to face to make things happen.
