Mission First Tactical (MFT) makes some of the more unique weapon accessories on the market right now. They are unique in terms of features and aesthetics. However, this post isn’t about their stocks and grips – I have several items to review that you will see in later posts. This post is about their patches.
MFT offers a full compliment of patches including the smash hit, I ♥ Violence patch. Check out MFT’s patches and all their gear at MissionFirstTactical.com.
The original embroidered Deafening Silence Patch from MADCAT Aviator/Operator is one of my favorite patches. It looks great and it has a tremendous story behind it. The new PVC version is just as great looking at the original. The PVC construction allows for greater detail so the patch can be made smaller while remaining just as legible as its larger counterpart.
The new PVC version of the Deafening Silence Patch is available from MADCATAO.com.

What use is having the coolest collection of patches around if you can’t show them off? OC Tactical can help. Their Grande Patch Panel was a smashing success but people wanted an even larger patch panel so OC Tactical introduced the Mondo Patch Panel.

The Mondo Patch Panel has all of the same craftsmanship and attention to detail that made the Grande Patch Panel great except the Mondo is twice the size of the Grande. The Velcro is one continuous sheet (not sewn together segments like some copy-cat designs). The backing is 1000D Cordura lining and the edges are all bound. The binding and Velcro are both Multicam printed on the Multica version of the Mondo.
There are 6 heavy duty blackened grommets that can be used to mount the 24 x 36” Mondo Patch Panel. The grommets allow you to hang the panel using a number of methods. I like to use 3M Command Adhesive hooks.
Even though these are just for displaying patches, OC Tactical doesn’t skip any details.
I currently have my Mondo and Grande Patch Panels mounted in my office over the desk where all the JTT magic happens. They look great in my office and would be perfect for a man cave or workshop. The PredatorBDU blog also pointed out that the Mondo would be an excellent display for retailers who sell morale patches.
One thing that I didn’t really appreciate until I was mounting the Mondo Patch Panel on my wall is that it shares a dimension with the Grande Patch Panel (each of them have a 24” side). This makes mounting them side by side more attractive.
The Mondo Patch Panel is available in Coyote Brown or Multicam. It is an attractive and well-made way to display all your favorite patches. Check it out on OCTactical.com.
Disclosure: OC Tactical (an advertiser on this blog) provided me this patch panel, free of charge, for review.
I have written about the I Love Recoil patches from The Z-Spot in a previous installment of Patch Collecting. At that time, only the OD Green color patches were available. Now, there are 2 additional color options: tan and “SWAT” (white embroidery on black background).
The addition of 2 new color schemes alone might not merit a mention. However, the fact that the SWAT color is limited to 100 pieces and 50% of the proceeds will go to the Wounded Warrior project does merit a mention. This is a great patch that benefits a great cause.
Check out the full line of patches at The Z-Spot.
Many morale patches are available in just one color scheme. Some may be available in 4 or 5 color schemes. JAVRAN’s Embroidered Logo Patch is available in hundreds of color schemes!
You can choose your background color from all of the typical “tactical” colors that you are used to and some less far less discreet colors like Neon Yellow and Aqua. You can even choose a reflective background. The border and embroidered bird can also be customized individually with any one of 15 thread colors including glow in the dark. The result is a custom patch, made just for you.
