Great patches & placements! That’s gonna be one killer jacket
@den1mhead Great examples of how cool well thought out and executed personal modifications can be. I consider this kind of thing regularly but don't feel like I have the eye for it.
Cheers peeps. When I was in the RAF patches were important for identification purposes as name, rank and squadron were all necessary and present on your flying suit. The embroidery comes with a bit more risk and reward due to its increased level of permanence.

It only took me 3 years and a pandemic to get around to sewing this on my backpack.

Received my August Fifteenth A2 Deck Jacket back from CeeFlair Clothing & Embroidery today with a second piece of embroidery added to the original U.S.N. piece that they did for me two weeks ago. Really happy with the second piece and think it works really well with the U.S.N. To say I was originally going down the stencil route, but was unable to source anything suitable, I am over the moon with the outcome;

@goosehd - as Iron Heart offer free repairs for life I'd get them addressed sooner rather than later.

I have just ordered three patches to embellish my IHM-13-KHA, Khaki Cotton Satin Thinsulate CWU-45P Type Flight Jacket. Patches A,B & C will be stitched to locations A,B & C on the jacket. A photo to follow after receipt of patches and completion of stitch work.

The patches arrived from Germany so waiting to have them stitched to my IHM-13-KHA jacket . . . .

Love the Lockheed Martin patch - local Fort Worth plant employed a lot of my friends parents and our next door neighbor growing up

I did try to sew the badges onto my USAAF Type B-15 Jacket and it looked ok from the outside but looking at the jacket from the inside was a huge disappointment and I simply couldn't live with it. I know myself well enough to know that the badges have to be stitched on just so, as well as looking clean from the inside, and my skill level falls well short of the mark. Props to you for sewing patches onto IHC-16's

Jules has a pair of Viberg engineers shown on LHS with chrome hardware that she would love to replace with brass hardware as shown on my IHTB-BOBRN on RHS. Does anyone know where hardware can be replaced on engineer boots? @Giles could IHUK replace hardware on Jules' boots?

My most worn pants are starting to get a hole. I thought I would try a fix at home. I had some NoSo patches left over from a Patagonia nano puff tear. Supposedly these patches also work on cotton. I’ll see what happens, but thought this might slow down the damage. Patched from the inside and then set with a hair dryer on high heat.
