200 patches should not be a problem to move. And hey, we might recruit more while we're selling them, too!

Tristan; had a thought on the "Asian" closures.. Don't know if this is overstepping...so please forgive me if it is - What about contacting the original costume designer? She does have a "contact me" space under one of the market threads...if it wouldn't be too much of an imposition perhaps she'd send us a picture of what she used and where she got them? Just a thought; and I'd volunteer to try and reach her.
Let me know.

CMH, thank you for all that. I have no idea how many people we will actually have marching...will that impact any of the ideas you have as far as any of this goes?
Not really, not matter how small it gets we can always just claim to be a smaller element of whatever unit size we're representing. Mostly we just need to get it strait if the 76th's a Brigade or Battalion, since BWTP and I concluded that it doesn't actually need to represent a division. Either one of those would work fine.

Let my spirit rise, Valkyries carry me.
Take me to Valhalla where my brothers wait for me.
Fires burn into the sky, my spirit will never die.

The nice thing is too that they garuntee the patches to arrive in 14days. So it's not like i have to order them now to garuntee them to arrive by D*C. The way it work is once I send them a reply to the email I sent, they will have one of their graphic artists create my design and
email me a full color proof to review.
Once I agree to that proof (I would of course post it here for you all to help me decide if it's right) they will go into production and viola, 14 days later we got ourselves an official patch.

Sister, that is a great idea...no imposition at all! As far as I can see, the vests do not have closures, though, and that is what is bugging me. I went through the flashback scenes last night, and have been looking at screencaps online this morning, and I do not see any closures. Tracey's was wide open, and it looks like all the rest are just held in place by the coat, belts, or whatever else they had wrapped around them. If you would like to contact her, that would be wonderful!
CMH, I will again bow to the knowledge of the military. Just let us know what y'all decide.

So BWTP, are you sticking with the kanji for Battalion?

Well it's the one I submitted, so I think so. Unless there is a demand for something different. Supprisingly I just recieved another email and they went ahead and rendered the patch. This is a what the patch will look like stitched (rough, but an idea):
On whatever one we decide, I will ask that the outer stitching be green as well if possible, unless you all want it black.

Wow, that is one shiny patch! I don't have a problem with the Kanji staying as it is. I don't mind the black, either, but the green would look good, too.
Wow. That is going to look nice on our coats, vests, smocks...whatever we put it on!

I like it, though I would vote for the black edging, from an artistic standpoint it anchors the kanji and makes the kanji "pop" a bit, with green edging the kanji gets kinda lost in the composition.
Edited to attach apic of one of our reference pics :)

Sounds good to me. I'm going to call the guy and let him know we're interested and might change the shape some. That and with it being the holidays, I gotta give my account a few days off before I drop another $250. I figure if I order them in febuary(ish) it'll be soon enough. Agreed?
