Most PATCHES
we offer are old school machine embroidered (single hand fabrication or by a Schiffli embroidery
machine)
with natural fibers.  These Patches are mostly crafted from chain, satin, and hemming stitches and machine
work
relies on the
use of
multiple threads. Most have machine hand merrowed (surge stitching) edges, the "tailor's tail" intact
(rely on photo)
or were
hand cut with die, mallet, on wax board.  Many of our items are dated by manufacturing material
and
method
and / or production paperwork if available. There is nothing wrong with reproductions,
they make
great collection "place holders" . . . we're here when you want to trade-up.
