Well, if you go to D*C there will most likely be some there. Or you can just send us a check or something. We'll figure all that out.

And bwtp is short for babywiththepower, my handle. It's just alot easier to type out.

BWTP, thank you for that. I guess waiting for a decision on the patch design would be a good idea, wouldn't it?

Well, I went ahead and sent and inquiry with the hexagon shaped patch, but it's a free estimate and there's no obligation to use it. I figure it'll be good to guestimate what it's actually going to cost.

Details of the estimate request:

75% embroidery - meaning the edge and the design in the center will be embroidered, the green area will be the cloth.

3" - The size of my unit patch from the army that's the same shape.

Standard backing - I figure it'll be MUCH cheaper to just sew them on ourselves or have a tailor do it than pay and extra $3 per patch for iron on.

They're damn good. Got several of each and was pleased with every one of them.

Tristan, I love the vests, they are lookin good.

BWTP - The patches look good, I think I prefer the oval to the hexagon. When you find out more, I might be interested in helping to finance.

Howdy all!

In speaking with my husband about how we could contribute to the Fightin' Independents, we've decided to offer up some special lanyards for your badges during the parade (they're so picky about making you where them EVERYWHERE). We'd like to make some that say "THE 76TH BRIGADE" on the left side (as your looking at it), and some other phrase on the right...WE ARE TOO PRETTY TO DIE, REMEMBER SERENITY VALLEY, WE WILL HOLD THE LINE...something like that. *shrug* Haven't really hashed it out completely yet.

If ya'll think you might like to add these to the uniform, let us know. We can all work together on a common phrase.

Neither of us will be in costume or the parade, but we're more than happy to back ya'll up. Oh, and if anyone is interested, hubby has done chainmail in the past and would be most happy to pass on any knowledge that he may have, should anyone feel like undertaking actual mail.

Edit: These would be limited edition lanyards. Only those actually in the parade would be able to buy them. Cheers!

I was looking through the screen caps, and I'm thinking the brown stripes on the vest denote rank. If you look at Tracy (Private) he only has two horizontal stripes, while Zoe (Corporal), though it changes between two scenes, has either three horizontal stripes or three horizontal stripes with vertical ones joining them. Just an observation, I could be way off.

That sounds great. Now I'm going to have to bust my ass and make it there. I've helped design a patch and you're making cool lanyards. I gotta start saving now.

I'm taking a very basic class on it now and I want to make some, but I don't know if it's going to cover sleeves or not. If your husband has any instructions/suggestions on sleeves it would be greatly appreciated.
