Default Ithaca Gun Club Jacket Patch

PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST BEFORE RESPONDING

Well here it is guys, the long asked about Ithaca Gun Club jacket patch! You wanted it, so I'm gonna make it happen.
As with everything I produce, they're made in the USA. At a tiny factory that employs four women, only one of which does the chainstitch work for these patches. So the production time is very slow, but well worth it I assure you.

They take about three hours per patch to produce. They're made on a single head hand oriented loom by a woman well past retirement age. Each color is put on individually, one at a time, they're essentially folk art.

They are made exactly like a gun club patch from the 1920s 1930s would have been made. It's a dying art, it took me years to find anyone capable of the work on this scale.

I'm going to take pre-order money on these for about a month, payment is by CHECK or MONEY ORDER ONLY. Message me for my payment address, I am not going to post it here.

I will hold all checks until the pre-order time is up, then I'll cash them all at once and order the patches. Lead time on manufacturing is about six weeks after I pay for the order.

They are about 10 inches long, truly a statement type piece to illustrate your gun of choice.

The price is $85 dollars shipped. The cost of materials has skyrocketed from when I started running these jacket patches several years ago unfortunatly.

Last day to pay is this coming Friday. If I'm holding payment from you I'll order you a patch.

Destry,

I tried to send you a private message and received notice that your saved message file is full. You cannot receive more messages until you clear some space. Sounds like something some of us may have heard regarding shotguns.
