FINISHED: Bellarmine Patches

Post by eNGee »

I made some Bellarmine patches, lifted straight off page 121. They're 4 inches across, with Velcro backing, 100% embroidered. Super happy with how they turned out :) Thought I'd share some love with them. If y'all want some, you can pick some up here: [EDIT] Store closed. [/EDIT] (I didn't want to pay Shopify extra for a custom domain.)

I've got 16 on hand I can start shipping as soon as this weekend, if there's more interest than that, folk's will have to wait a tad. I'll keep orders open until 09 December 2024. After that, I'll close orders and start getting the patches made up. Expect patches to be ready for shipping early January, and US and Canada folks should have theirs by the end of January or early February at the latest. Like I said though, I do have a small handful ready to go right away.

I'll keep this thread updated with the current status of the project, and will post pics when the patches come in. I have Arioch's blessing for this project, but he's not involved in any of the operation. If you have questions/concerns, you can direct them to me. Happy to field anything y'all throw at me.

I have updates!

Orders I’ve received so far have shipped! I have just a few left that are ready to ship now. If you wait much longer, you’ll have to get one from the second production run.

International/non-US orders: I CAN ship overseas, but Shopify isn’t playing nice with it. If you can’t place an order on the shop, reach out to me directly and I’ll get you taken care of.


Request: If you can, post a a pic of your patch in the wild. I’d love to see where they wind up!

Out of curiosity, who did you get to make them? A friend's wanted to get some novelty patches made

A good place to start is your have a local shirt printing / Letterman jacket shop. They've often got sweetheart deals with subcontractors and might be able to beat what you can find online. Ask them for a quote, and if it's not the best, ask if they can beat what you find online.

Online, you need to shop around to get the best price for whatever your design is, since they all charge differently per patch depending on the size, backing, etc. They change prices all the time too. In no particular order, I've worked with these folks, and they've all done well.

Penultimate update on the patches: International shipping is *finally* set up, should be painless now which is good, because it's also

LAST CALL FOR PATCHES

I'm shutting down the store front on 9 December so the subscription doesn't keep eating me alive. Then I'll start production, and should have everything shipped in mid-January.

As always, taking questions if you got them!

Glad you like them! I’ve only got the folks left to finish, worst case they’re all in the mail by Monday. So if you don’t have yours yet, you will soon!
