We do not accept returns on customized items unless the item is defective in quality or an error was made in spelling/colors. We do our best to catch mistakes and will work with you on a resolution should there be an issue.

Most semi-custom orders placed via the website will be fulfilled within 1-7 business days.

All of our patches are made using American made nylon cotton rip-stop fabrics from textile mills in MO or NJ. Our thread is made by Robinson & Anton, American & Efrid and Madeira.

WE DO NOT USE FABRIC OR THREAD MADE IN CHINA FOR ANY PATCHES.

Yes, our nametapes are all made to spec and are BERRY Compliant.

We make all of our patches and nametapes in our production facility, located in Winchester, Kentucky. We utilize state of the art embroidery equipment and an experienced team of embroiderers, artists and quality control specialists to ensure every product we make is of the highest quality. For a virtual tour of our production facility in action, please check out the video below.

Great question, as mentioned previously we only use the highest quality of fabrics and threads to produce our embroidered products. Many other online retailers who sell similar products outsource their production overseas to save on operating costs. However, we find that in many instances these products are of poor quality due to their inferior fabric and threads as well as sloppy stitching and poor QC. This difference in quality translates to us being able to provide a consistent, long lasting and visually appealing product.

Yes we do! For custom text patches placed via our website, we offer a $0.50/per patch discount for orders of 5-10 and $1.00/patch discount for quantities over 11. For other custom patches we offer incremental quantity discounts which can be found on our quote form.

The main limitation to what can be put on a patch is due to text limitations, wherein we can only fit so much text in the space provided. There are also some patch designs that are too detailed for embroidery, such as small lettering or intricate designs. Should this be the case, we do have other options, such as printed patches. Barring these limitations, of course we support everyone’s First Amendment rights to self-expression.

All our patches come with hook fastener backing unless the title specifically list “sew-on” We sell the soft loop side in our store separately. Custom patches can be made with either option, please specify your preference when placing your order.

We can ship to virtually any address in the world. Note that there are restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to certain international destinations.

Currently we do not offer this service and frankly, we suck at wrapping and hand-writing; but if you want us to draw a T-Rex on a skateboard holding a kitten on your package, we’re all for it!

Mistakes happen, and while we do our best to catch them, sometimes our shipping department sucks. Please contact us by phone or e-mail and we will be happy to work with you in resolving your issue.

You may return most new, unopened items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. We'll also pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item, etc.).

The International Traffic in Arms Regulations or ITAR is a set of government regulations that controls the import and export of certain defense related articles contained in the United States Munitions List (USML).

Under Federal law, an unlicensed individual is prohibited from transferring a firearm to an individual who does not reside in the State where the transferee resides. Generally, for a person to lawfully transfer a firearm to an unlicensed person who resides out of State, the firearm must be shipped to a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) within the recipient’s State of residence. He or she may then receive the firearm from the FFL upon completion of an ATF Form 4473 and a NICS background check

For transfers shipped to us: Please contact us to make sure the individual/company you are purchasing the firearm from, has a copy of our FFL. If not, we will need an e-mail address that we can send our FFL to as well as your order information. Once the firearm has been received by us, we will contact you to arrange the transfer/pickup.

For transfers shipped out of state from us: We will need a copy of the recipients FFL and any related order information. We do not charge to transfer out of state, except for the cost to ship.

We charge $10 per transfer, so if you have several guns shipped to us at once, it would be one transfer fee.

Yes, but it is not necessary. Any person may sell a firearm to an unlicensed resident of the State where he resides as long as he or she does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law.
