We find our patches from antique stores, thrift shops, flea markets, eBay, cold calling, and a variety of other methods. Because of the time it takes to add new products to the site, we normally focus on larger lots of patches with multiples of each patch.We've found that accurately dating patches is a difficult process that often causes confusion. We never want to misrepresent a product we sell so we've moved away from offering high priced rare patches, and we no longer try to guarantee a patch is "collectible" or from any certain era. We know which qualities go into an authentic patch and we also research each patch design to make sure any logos or designs fit into the "vintage" category for those companies.
