So here is a breakdown for the current form of the patch vest, along with where I got the patches. The vest I got as a jacket from the “men’s” section in Walmart for a bout $20 and cut the sleeves off. Target also had some denim jackets…but those were $40-something and I was not about to cut sleeves off a $40 jacket. Sticking it under a read more because very picture heavy post.

Left side: “she/her” pronoun patch, “RESIST” patch (NerdieKeppie.com); Star Wars Rebel Alliance Symbol (…probably Walmart); rainbow-y arrow (Joann Fabric and Crafts); “NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US”, “SO SAY WE ALL” (NerdieKeppie.com); BSG patch (I got it at a local con, but also available at scifigeeks.com)

All hand stitched on, occasionally with the help of fabric glue on the big ones.

Had stick-on-to-iron-on letter patches, and space, so I stuck my nickname on the patch vest. Going to be doing sewing to fill up the blank space around the letters. Probably going to do ace flag colors since, lol, perfect letter to color match up.

Have also ordered two patches that will go on either side of the name under the stars.
