Input for Patrol and LSA Sew-on Patches

[jaredyates]

I'm planning to make up a batch of sew-on patches like the ones that we have with the "Bearhawk" logo, but with the Patrol and LSA logo. These would have only words, no airplane, which makes them different from the hats and such. The center of the letters is white, and there is a black border. Patches come in large quantities (we're 6 years into our first order so far), so it's worth getting some input about what folks would like to have. The current patch sizes are 5x1 inches and 10x2 inches. Should the new patches have the same size "Bearhawk" and just end up larger overall, or should we shrink the "Bearhawk" part to end up with a similar overall patch length, but shorter height?

I'd appreciate any input, and any expressions of interest along the lines of "I like [what you like] and I'd be in the market for [this many] of them."

Since I'm having my seats upholstered as we speak, and would love to add the Bearhawk Patrol logo to them, your timing is excellent...

I love the current Bearhawk patch, as is, and would use that if no Patrol patches were available. In an ideal world, my preference would be to have both "Bearhawk" and "Patrol" on the patch. Both would be mixed-case, same as your current patches. To me, it would make sense to have the word "Bearhawk" centered above the word "Patrol" to keep the patch the same width as the current ones. I would purchase at least two of the larger, and two of the smaller patches. I might want a couple of extras to go on a jacket...

While we're at it, can I put in a request for a "hat band" with the Patrol image on it, similar to the "bucket hat" but minus the hat? Simple white fabric would be great, but long enough to fit around the crown of a "cowboy hat". I've got several different mesh-type hats (from the Oshkosh vendor areas...) that I wear all the time, and would love to have a hat band on each of them! If they have both the airplane image and the Bearhawk Patrol logo on them, I would probably purchase 6 of them to have some "spares" around.

The timing is not coincidental... your seats are the catalyst in this case. The hat bands should be no problem, let me get back to you on those. I have a few red and blue "Bearhawk" types but could do a batch of white with some of each logo.

I didn't see those on your web site... Can you post a picture? Color is less important than the "look"... (And I really want a picture of the Patrol, but would settle for the Bearhawk name...)
