If you are a member of the Usual Suspect Network, you know C who is a member there. If not, you may know C from PeskyHumans.com. C has made patch making into an art form – literally. He occasionally turns his pop art paintings into amazing limited edition patches.

One of his patches that isn’t based on a painting is the Ti Element patch. As you well know, titanium makes everything cooler. That goes for patches too.

This patch features Titanium as it appears in the Periodic Table of Elements. The atomic symbol, atomic number, and atomic weight are all there. It’s like you ripped the patch right off of a Period Table of the Elements and stuck it your hat, or backpack, or whatever you decide to stick it to.

Sadly, this patch is sold it out. But you may still be able to find one on the secondary market. If there is another run of them, I will let you know.

Take a mental snapshot of your surroundings. Someday you will want to be able to tell your grandkids where you were when you first saw the greatest patch in the world – the Bacon, Raw patch.

These patches are the brain child of a friend on the Usual Suspect Network, Ninjamaster. I was lucky enough to be able to purchase one of the prototypes of this patch and now I finally have a production version to show all of you. It took every bit of my self control to keep from sharing pictures of the prototype!

The patch features everyone’s favorite super food – bacon. It features the lighter brown, pink, and off-white coloring that is typical of raw bacon. This patch looks good enough to eat and is sure to make everyone who sees it hungry.

You can get your very own Bacon, Raw patch from the good folks at EDC Knives.

The tactical blogging juggernaut and all around nice folks, ITS Tactical, have a new patch available for pre-order. The 5.1.11 Prevail Morale Patch commemorates the day that Osama Bin Laden was purged from the living by Navy SEALs. Not only does it commemorate a high point in our nation’s current conflict but it will help support an excellent cause, America’s Mighty Warriors, which was founded by Debbie Lee, mother of Marc Lee, the first SEAL killed in Iraq.

The patches feature 100% custom embroidery and are 3.3 inches by 3.5 inches. The full color artwork shows a “PREVAIL” banner, an eagle, Osama Bin Laden with an extra hole in his head, and keen eyed observers will notice the ITS Tactical shield logo in the backgound.

This is a great patch, commemorating a great moment, for a great cause. Pre-order yours today at ITS Tactical.

Magpul and patch maker extraordinaire Mil-Spec Monkey have teamed up to do some good. They have created a really good looking, limited edition patch that features the Japanese kanji for strength.

As you probably know, Japan was rocked by intense earthquakes in March of this year. The recovery efforts may not be on the nightly news anymore but they are certainly still struggling. All of the proceeds from the patch will go directly to the rebuilding effort.

You can find more information and help by purchasing a patch at Magpul’s website.
