Sorry, no paypal. The patches are iron on, but I wouldn't count on that to keep them secure in the wilderness.

How do people attach these to nylon packs? Can you iron them onto nylon or should the be sewn?

I was a late arrival and didnt get to be involved in the original discussion. I was interested in these patches as soon as I saw them in other threads but didnt know where they came from. The newest "fund drive" thread in gen discussion made me look for them again on the sites purchase page and not finding them there (again) it finally occurred to me to search threads. Bingo!
I have talked to bellolake in email, he still has patches left and indicated an interest in this thread being bumped for anyone who missed it before or needs a new one.

Unfortunately, neither of us will be at 'copia. The production time is about 2 weeks, so we're looking at mid March. The picture of them is in PDF format, and so far I haven't been able to figure out how to make it show up on here. If I get that straightened out, I'll post it. The price has been set at $5 plus postage. I won't have that piece until Monday. When I get that I will post info about placing your orders. Thanks for your patience.

OK folks. Here we go!! I don't have the patches in my hot little hands yet, but they should be here in a week or so I hope. If you want to start sending orders, I'm ready to take them. I won't cash any checks until I have the patches in hand.

If you want to send cash, that's great, but sending cash through the mail is always a calculated risk. I'm fine with personal checks as long as they're made out of paper.

$5 per patch plus $1.25 for shipping.

Send orders to:

Please include your name and mailing address inside the envelope in case the outside gets damaged and is unreadable.

OK, here we go. Without knowing how much the patches will weigh it was hard to try and pin down accurate postage costs, so I made a decision all by myself! Since it appears that most of you will be ordering multiples, I settled on $1.25 for shipping. Some may be more, some less, but I thought it was a good compromise. Those that are more will be my treat, those less provide a little more to support the website. So the bottom line is $5 per patch plus $1.25. Now we come to the important part. PLEASE DON'T SEND ANY MONEY NOW!!! I want to wait to start taking orders until I have a confirmed delivery date. As soon as I get that, I will post the info you need to get your orders in. You've been very patient so far, we're almost there.

RTM,


The following is from bellolake's earlier post......


If you want to send cash, that's great, but sending cash through the mail is always a calculated risk. I'm fine with personal checks as long as they're made out of paper.


$5 per patch plus $1.25 for shipping.


Send orders to:
Chuck Elton
818 W. Third Street
Washburn, WI 54891


Please include your name and mailing address inside the envelope in case the outside gets damaged and is unreadable.

Received my two patches in the mail yesterday and they look great. Will look even better as soon as I get them on my packs. Thanks!
