These are used vintage red text on *off-white* grayish background oval name tag patches which have been taken off of old uniforms.  They are in pretty good shape for their age and ready to find a new purpose in life.  They were previously sewn-on and may have some small holes and/or leftover threading from that process.

Please note that because they are used and vintage, they are not "like new" condition.  There are some signs of age and wear, but that's part of what makes them charming as well.  They've "been around" so to speak.

The dimensions of the name patches are roughly 3 inches wide by 1-1/2 inches tall.  There are multiple pictures in the listing so that you can see any particular name you may be interested in to see how the font looks and so on.  ONE AGAIN the pics (in many cases) do make the backgrounds look whiter than they are.  They are typically an off-white gray.  Please be aware that the colors vary a bit from patch-to-patch, so if you are ordering multiples you likely will receive patches which are not exactly the same color, in case that's an issue for you.

We do NOT make these patches.  So our inventory is limited.  If you see a patch you want, you'd better order it now or risk it being sold out the next time you check.  That being said, we do sometimes get in MORE of a sold-out option.  If you "watch" a name you are interested in, it will be a sign to us to prioritize that name, get it cleaned up and ready to list, if and when we get more of it.

We also combine shipping, so you save a bit by buying multiples at once.
