Patches 4 Sale

We have been very fortunate to arrange with BC Patch of Oakley California to create new patches based on the photos that member's have sent us. We are excited about this new service that we can offer to the folks out there. A good time to start a collection! The patches are of the highest quality and BC has graciously kept the cost very reasonable, even though they had to expend their own money to create the new designs. It is highly unusual for a patch company to go out on a limb and create the patch designs from scratch without first having an order for 50 or 100 in hand. We are indebted to BC Patch for their willingness to take a chance on us. You do not have to be a NAFTS member to order patches . . . anybody can buy them.

If you have a patch, or a photo of a patch or plaque, in your top drawer at home that we do not have listed in our Patches & Plaques section, please send us a photo of it and we can then have BC create new patches for your ship, too!

This is an ongoing project and BC is creating about ten new patch versions each month so check often to see what has been added. These patches vary in size depending on their design but are all "about" 5 or 6 inches across and are suitable for placing on the breast pocket area of a jacket.

You can order the patches directly from BC Patch by doing any of the following:

1.) At their website (click this link)-->> www.bcpatch.com and printout their order form. List the name of the patch(s) and the catalog # that you desire and enclose a check for $6 for each patch. Include 50 cents shipping & handling for the 1st patch and 25 cents S&H for each additional patch. Checkout their other patches while you're at their website. They have an excellent large assortment. Your webmasters got an excellent quality Vietnam "Gulf of Tonkin Yacht Club" patch" from BC earlier.

2.) If you can't print out the form, simply write on a sheet of paper the name of the patch and the catalog # that you desire and enclose $6 per patch and the customary 50 cents S&H for the 1st patch and 25 cents for each additional patch and mail it to:

.Below are photos of the patches that BC has created for now. These are copies of the original ship patches and they will look great in a shadow box collection hanging on your wall. Order more than one of your ship and put some on your jackets, too! Show the world that you are proud to have been a tugger. Check back for more tug patch designs because this is a work in progress and BC is working nonstop to complete the project.
