In our current situation of enforced leisure I have done heavy research into another possible manufacturer of these and believe I have found someone. The good news is they will be cheaper! In the $65 range rather than the $100 from the first fella. The bad news is the company is currently closed down due to the pandemic. I'm in conversation with the owner and am sending out the original for them to look at and produce a prototype as soon as they reopen. I'm actually stunned I found someone else, nobody makes patches by hand this way anymore hardly. Hopefully their work is as good as the first. The minimum order will be 12 pieces to get this lower price. If we can get that many folks interested we'll move forward.
