Fox Gun Collectors Jacket Patch.....
 

Several of the guys on here wanted me to let them know when the Fox patch was ready to order so here ya go.

PLEASE READ ENTIRE MESSAGE

They will be made available on pre order for 30 days from today, payment is by check or money order only, please include a shipping label of some type with your payment. The price on these is a bit more than some of the others have been due to it's high embroidery coverage and more detailed design.

They are $75, shipping is included in the price.

You do not need to message me about an order, just send payment and I'll add you to the list when it arrives.

I will hold all checks until the 30 days are up, then I will cash them and make the formal order. Delivery time will be about six weeks, this is a very slow manufacturing process.

These are a statement type patch, very large at over 10 inches across.

These are MADE IN THE USA by a tiny company with about four employees on 75 year old hand oriented machines by a lady who's almost as old as the equipment itself. Literally each color is put on individually, the manufacturing process from first stitch to last cut is about 4 hours per patch. I know they're expensive, but I assure you they're well worth the price when you get them on your jacket. This manufacturing process is how patches of this type were made back in the 20's and 30's, it took me two years to find anybody still capable of this work. This is almost folk art, and it's definitely a dying art. They will be embroidered with 100% wool thread on a cotton / wool blend felt.

Here's the catch, to get this price I have to get 30 orders. If we don't get 30 then I'll return everybody's payment no harm no foul.

Make payment to:

Destry L. Hoffard
5150 Carpenter Rd.
Ypsilanti, MI 48197

I will give this post one bump a week till the 30 days are up.

I'm in for one.

I'll keep.an eye out for your payment.

Check is on the way

Destry, by the way I had 4 of the small patches sewn to hats last week. I'll post pics when I get them back.

Spin

Please do!

I've got the first couple payments in today. We need 28 more to make the order.

Hats with Destry's last patch
 

Just got the hats.

Wow those are sharp!

P.S. 22 orders to go.

15 orders to go.

Destry, sent package with check, was it delivered?

Spin

What are the dimensions of these patches?
Thank you
Best Regards,

They are 10 inches across according to his first post.

Still needing a few orders guys.

Hi Destry, just mailed my check for one patch. Sorry for my late submittal, been busier than a one armed paper hanger lately.

Keep 'em coming boys!

Destry, add me to the list. Check is on the way. George

Destry:

How many more do you need?

Spin

About four more, I haven't counted this week and there may have been some come in todays mail.

Going to wind this up next week, I could still use a couple more orders if anybody is hanging fire.

Destry:

Hi, I made some embroided hats with the Parker Gun Club logo. See pic. I can get more made if anybody wants one.

Spin Drift

If they're American Made caps I'll take two.

I have no control over the caps as they are supplied by the embroidery company. It's the same company that made the sewn on patch cap I sent. Hi quality cap though.

Spin

I will also take two if you are taking orders. Please IM me with details.
Thanks

Not taking orders, I don't own the image rights. I believe that they belong to Market Hunter as he made the original patch. He would like a US made cap but they are few and expensive. The future is murky on this.

Destry just sent a check out this morning for 2 Fox patches.

Spin Wheel Fashions can get American made hats and they were not violently expensive.

The embroider in Auburn gets hats from China. This is so they can be competitive on price. I don't control this aspect. I was able to have a small qty (5) done for $13 ea after paying for the digitizing of the pattern. This raised the price to $21 a hat. At this point it is a dead deal. Sorry about that.

Spin

Thanks to all the guys who ordered a jacket patch! We've hit the number we needed to make it happen. I'm going to cash all the checks tomorrow and move forward with the manufacturing process. My ladies are busy right now with another big project but we'll be the next thing in the pipe.

P.S. to Spin Drift: I hadn't been following this on the caps, I just messaged you.

Wanted to let everybody know the patches have arrived and will be shipping shortly. I have two spares in case somebody missed the original offering and wants one.

Destry....I would like one of the spares. SXS Ohio

I’ll take the other one.

Spares are both sold.

Seems like there might be enough interest here for a second order. I need 15 pieces, I think I've got seven so far. Anybody else want one?

Got mine in the mail today .

They look great !

Thank you Destry !!!

Ok the last of the first order is in the mail!

Getting quite a few responses on a 2nd run, let me know who's in.

Received mine today. Thanks

Destry:

Got mine last night, looks great.

Thanks

There's been some interest in a 2nd order on this one. I've got to get 15 pieces paid to make it happen. I've got two paid so far, so that ain't gonna do it. Anybody else interested?
