Good news, the prototype has been run and it looks great. I'm going to officially start taking money. There will be some bookkeeping involved here and I'm going to ask you all to do your best to help me help you. If you want a patch (or multiple patches) I'm going to ask that you pay me by check or money order only (no Paypal) so I'll have an easier time keeping the money straight.

I'm not going to try to message people individually and you don't need to message me individually either. I'm going to post the address for payment right here on the thread.

Send $65 per patch (that's a shipped price) to:

Destry L. Hoffard
5150 Carpenter Rd.
Ypsilanti MI 48197

Include a clearly written example of your shipping address and a note saying how many patches you want. If you can send an actual shipping label for your package that would be a big help but that's not a requirement.

I'm going to accept payments for 30 days from Monday (June 22nd). After that date I will officially deposit all checks and money orders into my bank account then call and make the order to the manufacturer.

I will post a weekly update as to how many payments I have and give a count down as to how long you have left to pay.

Below is a picture of the prototype patch which looks fantastic.

Can you refresh my memory as to what the actual size is of the patch?

Patch looks great! Would you prefer a stick-on label already addressed?

Do we know if there are any special instructions as far as being able to wash a garment with this patch on it in a regular washing machine or will it only be suitable for dry clean only items? Don't want the patch to pucker up or do anything weird.
Thanks.

I was going to sew it on my favorite quail hunting vest, hasn't been washed since I bought it, figure that's bad luck! You shoot like I do some days, you need all the help you can get.

Any label you wanna send is acceptable.

As far as laundering, I would consider this dry clean only just for the sake of safety.
