[John Harmston]

Yes, thanks for the great artwork.

[Jayson May]

Got my patches in today.

They look awesome.
Now it is time to start sewing them on to everything I own.

[C. VanSlambrouck]

If you are planning to attend any of the excellent HEMA events planned this year, might I make a suggestion to order your official Alliance patch beforehand and wear it with pride at the events?

T-shirts are also forthcoming...

At this point I have one on my sword fighting hoodie, with several planned on other things that I wear to class or wear around town. My theory is never be afraid to answer questions about such an intense, focused, and unique course of study and practice.

[Diogo Teixeira]

Awesome!

Soon as I create a group, i'll afiliate just to have those =P

I have other patches that are 'iron on' but have not used them because my fencing jacket is made from 100% Polyester. A hot iron would screw it all up I expect. Has anyone ironed these onto a polyester fencing jacket before successfully? The reason I'm asking is that the patches I have here (they are not HEMA patches mind you) are too thick to sew with a needle.

When I get my HEMA patches, will they be easy to pierce with a needle or are they as tough as the few I have here?

Your advice is very precious, as I'd not want to destroy my nice Leon Paul fencing jacket for a $3 patch!

They are not too thick at all and will be easy to sew on as opposed to ironing on. You should have no problem with that.

When I first put mine on I ironed it on, mind you that was on a cotton blend hoodie. After that I stictched it on ant that was definitely doable.

We finally got our order, and even having looked at the photos, I was impressed. These were well done!
