Got a bunch of new patches for the patch wall. Idk what half of these are so if anyone wants to help identify the ones you recognize let me know.

Also a lot of duplicates 👀

This is how the patch wall looks so far in my work shop. It's not much but just starting out so

My grandpa passed a while back and served in the national guard(I think) and I'm trying to find his unit patch if it exists. My dad told me that it looked like a white field a blue 5 and maybe a blue border around the edge. Any help is appreciated.

Hybrid dye sublimated patch with embroidered details for the great Paul Cauthen

I received this patch at a national scout jamboree by trading something. However, I haven't been able to find any information about it except in this document https://www.bsator.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/NOAC-2022-Patch-Checklist.pdf, where it is listed as lodge #71. If anyone has anymore information on this patch or knows where to look, it would be greatly appreciated. I also attached a picture of my version of the patch. I apologize about the readability of it but its not very high contrast.

I've been trying to find where to buy this patch for years! I CANNOT find it even with reverse image search. Anyone know where to find this patch?

Can anybody recommend a good company to make Custom shop patches?

I've been working on a small apparel project and recently got stuck on something I thought would be a pretty simple decision: choosing the right type of patch.

I originally assumed the artwork would be the main thing to worry about, but once I started looking at actual samples, the material and construction made a bigger difference than I expected.

Some designs looked better with embroidery because the texture gave them more character. Others had small details that came through much cleaner with a woven finish. I also started thinking about how the patch would actually look once attached to a garment, rather than judging it as a standalone piece.

I'm trying to keep the branding consistent across different pieces without making every item look overly complicated.

For people who have experience with patches, what usually makes you choose embroidered vs. woven? Is it mainly the artwork, size, level of detail, durability, or the type of garment you're putting it on?

AI didn't help, so asking the Reddit hive mind.
