Several of you guys have seen and contacted me about the "Flying WV" West Virginia University/West Virginia in general IR reflective logo patches, and wanting to get some, so I've obtained permission to do a group buy of these patches in the HTF!
I will continue to update with more details and start building a list of buyers/quantities, deadlines, etc., but I figured I should get the information out and get the ball rolling so that those of you that have contacted me aren't thinking I'm blowing you off--it's just been a busy couple of weeks for me--in part because of the end of the semester at the University.
Details:
Only one type/style will be offered for the time being--the patches will be 2"x3.5"--about the same size as a standard "flag" or "callsign" patch:
The patches are Nylon fabric over 3M SOLAS (Safety Of Life At Sea) MIL-SPEC IR reflective material, with the design laser cut (the "WV" will be the part that glows)
Price will be between $20-$30 each, depending on interest/what kind of group pricing I can get--I know they're not cheap, but that is pretty much the going rate for a small run of custom, laser cut patches made with the correct SOLAS material, and as you can see from the photographs above, the patterns are cut extremely crisply, and look great. The more batches we buy, the closer to $20 the final price will get... I will try to get some photographs under IR in the near future.
Several different fabric patterns are available besides the standard Multicam pictured.

Multicam Tropic

UCP (ACU)

PenCott GreenZone

If you are interested in getting in on the Group Buy:
Please send me an
e-mail, as my IM box fills up quickly, either using the button under "User Info," or to augee [AT] etac-arms [DOT] com
First e-mail can/should be a general interest e-mail, let me know about how many you would like/colors/patterns--please include your username here in your e-mail as well.
Once I have a good gauge of interest, I will get final pricing and send out another e-mail to confirm/update/withdraw, and I will set an end-date for payment. Once I've received all payments, the order will be placed, and lead time should be 2 weeks or so to manufacture them and for me to receive them, then I will send them to everyone who has participated. Either way, probably looking at at least a month and a half to two months at earliest before you can get your patch, so if you're an "instant gratification" type, please keep that in mind before participating in the group buy.
Again, I will maintain regular updates here as well.
Thanks!
