Are they designed to self destruct if someone puts them on a Made in China vest?

Destry, do they look as good as you expected? Would it be worth trying to get the original wool felt background material on order for a second batch? I'd be in for another one.

They look just like the picture, they're great.

As far as the felt goes, that was a big problem. There is no 100% wool felt produced in the USA anymore. It has to come from Europe. And with what's going on in the world right now, the suppliers can't get the stuff. The wool / cotton blend is a USA product so can be gotten a lot easier.

I'm up to nine on a second order, ten if you're in on one with the blended fabric.

Well between here and the Facebook page I've got 15 names so I guess we're making a 2nd run. I'm only going to take orders for a week this time. The factory is getting ready to hit their busy season and I want to get these rolling. I'll message the interested parties on here right now.

Destry, what is the cost per patch, shipping and all, on the 2nd run? My check will go out over the weekend, just don't remember the $$$. Can't wait to get them in hand! Again, Thanks for your effort!
