Thanks to KomfyKrafts, Just the Base, Badgerhound, Woodpatch, and Sput.
Seriously, Sput knocked it out of the park with the operation Meteor patch, here's another photo that still doesn't do it justice.

Back in the business of patch design, will be working much closer with Far East Tactical on new lineups.
So focus group:
Are there any particular patches you guys would like to see from us? Particularly old school and/or long running game series?
Honestly, I'd like to see more of a focus on embroidered.
I understand certain designs are too complicated to make in that type, so you have to do woven, but I still see plenty of "simple" designs that could totally have been done in an embroidered fashion, and that imo would make them a better product.
To your credit, I'm noticing more embroidered patches now than what you used to do around a year ago, but I'm still seeing stuff (Zeon, some of the simpler Ace Combat flag/unit patches) that you've produced woven and could have been done as embroidered.
You (as in FEI in general) are going to ulitmetly run what patches you want how you want, and if flat wovens are selling, don't stop. I just think embroidred is a superior look for patches and am sad when I can see places where it would have worked but was not applied.
Well only a few patches on the store are mine, but I agree that embroidered is superior in terms of aesthetics and (usually) quality, thought they are certainly more expensive to manufacture. I'll bring it up to the store owner when I talk to him next week.
So, after getting repeated hit in the face with falling patches while driving, I decided to retire the patches from the ceiling of my car. I wanted a patch board, but they were expensive, so I decided to make one instead.

It's made of some coarse fabric and a piece of foam board from dollar tree, and some leftover automotive upholstery adhesive, spent less than 5$ on it
Explain cheese on g11 please
G11 cheese is from https://www.pkpatchworks.com/products (Lewd Patches Warning)
Okay yes but why is cheese bullying of g11a thing?
I don't know, but I now feel like the G11 Cheese patch is an accurate depiction of driving with patches on your headliner
pap
Not gonna lie, might buy it just for the pap even though I haven't played GFL in over a year.
Because G11A is a baby and throwing cheese slices on babies was a thing.
also pap

D-Day things are up!
Oh man, those look great! Defficently going to pick up the whole pack just for the Operation Neptune patch!
Just bought the neptune patch, we'll see how quickly it arrives
I'm going to try to blast out all the orders within the next few days.
Saw the email and immediately ordered the neptune patch
Okay so with Facepunch dying (for real this time (we swear)), I'm doing my best to move this all over to the succesor forums, Knockout. Will post a link if I can get it done in time, but who knows when garry will pull the plug for real.
In case it doesn't get done in time, I want my last post on the facepunch patch general to be this:
Thank you all for taking the time and posting in this thread with me. I know it's an odd hobby to have, but having people to share and discuss this incredibly nieche collectors hobby was really fun. The thread could have died two years ago with zero interest, but it really meant a lot to me that in the waning years of fp, you shared in my intrest for patches. As weird as that sounds.
You're all awesome!
Well at least I finally ordered a facepunch patch :-)
Aside from Badgerhound in the OP (who has them but OOS), is there anyone else doing FP patches?
Nope. It look a long time to convince any store to actually run the patch, and badgerhound was very generous to do so at the time.
Maybe since interest is up he should run them again? @badgerhound
He has some subdued left in stock for those interested:

Grabbed a subdued FP patch to remember this site by. Thanks for this thread, and I'll be posting in the Knockout thread as and when!
