Where to get a patch?
 

I friend recently died (long medical history). He had been a biker before his health problems and always enjoyed talking about my bike, riding etc.. When he died his wife found a vest that he had from his riding days. I wanted to get a patch made in memory of him to put on the vest. Any suggestions on where to get one of those made? Thanks in advance

Sorry to hear man, i don't know of anyone close to you but possibly someone will chime in. Most that i know that have gotten a patch like your talking got them made at a rally or event here is link to a site i just found never ordered from them but there are a bunch of sites like it when i searched also http://www.apparel2000.net/in_memory_patches.html

I'm sorry for your loss.
Do you have an embroidery/sewing shop nearby? They might be able to get you in the right direction. If not, several patch vendors on Ebay.
Again, sorry for your loss

sorry for your loss, the site ohioskully posted is a good site to deal with and are american made.

I usually go here ... no minimum patch order. The Tombstone patches are approximately 3.25 x 4.25 high

She is a little old biker lady located a little North of Milwaukee in Port Washington. You can choose your own colors besides what's on her website.

Here is a sample of what she did for an old friend of ours from the Hogs & Dogs Riding Group ... who died from leukemia about two years ago.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

Often, memory patches are produced in bulk. A good friend or family member will organize an event in remembrance, sell the patches and raise other funds with proceeds going to the family or a charity the deceased supported.

Any embroidery shop should be able to help.

Sorry to hear about your loss as well. Another site that does custom patches is www.ironthread.com

I'll catch $hit for this but here goes
Take a patch, any patch from his vest [ with his Ladies permission] and wear it with pride. Only you need to know what it means.
May he rest in Peace.

Thanks for all the input. I will check out those sites. The vest has no patches, just a plain black vest. I am going to get the patch and wear his vest with his name. Thanks again, lots of good advice.

At the Atlanta Motorcycle Show there was a booth were a fellow was making custom patches. He made one for me. Took him about 5 minutes and has all the necessary blank patches and the machine right there. I'm sure other shows will have someone similar.
