Leather Nametag

CAP277 · May 19, 2009, 08:05:11 PM

Can someone point me in the right direction for some leather name patches other than from vanguard through private message ? Thanks.

No need for a private message - http://flightbadge.com/

They are not a secret.

Yes, they are awesome. Good quality/price/service. Fast shipping.

They are also a CAP sponsor.

they are excellent.
just an FYI, if you go "dual cool" they'll put your badges side-by-side.

Superior product to what is available from the other guys. If you ever get a chance to compare side by side, their leather nametag is better quality, color, printing, etc. I highly recommend them.

Please don't put badges side-by-side in my Air Force (style) uniform.

I recently asked the folks at flightbadge why they offer only side by side . Their rep stated that some CAP LTC told them that this was correct(probably assumed that Vanguard was right). I let them know that the manual does not specify. They promise to offer vertical arrangements soon.

I've had my "dual cool" flight badge from them for 2 years now and its vertical, not side by side.

Did they change the set up based on some goofball?

pixelwonk · May 20, 2009, 03:04:55 PM

In a word, yes.
In an order I placed in late 07 I got them vertical.
I ordered this past Feb to replace my 1st Lt with Capt and they arrived side by side.

That sux.

I vote with my my pocketbook in this case, then.

Another swing-and-a-miss from Bobbo.

flightbadge.com is NOT the secret source for the best CAP leather nametags.

To quote Yoda, "no....there is another."

I just got a vertically aligned leather badge from flightbadge.com. They sent it gratis after retooling, as promised. Can someone PM the secret source to me?

Um, yes. That's what I literally said.

I know of at least 5-6 different sources for CAP-specific leather name tags that include the badges. FB happens to do a good job and has been a recent CAP sponsor.

Would you like to me to publish a list of all the others, or is it enough that we all know you think have some double secret source?

AlphaSigOU · May 29, 2009, 01:11:34 PM

We just wanna not have the legal pit bulls drying up our sources with C&D notices.

I need to order some new flight badges ..

I see fb.com .. there.. though, honestly, I'm not unhappy with what I got from vanguard last time, construction wise, they're decent. What I don't like is the silver seemed to wear off fast on one of them.

So.. I'm asking, I see fb.com, $20 for four, pick CAP pilot, enter the stuff on two lines. So, do I enter "MAJ CAP" for the second line, or do they know to do that?

..and someone said there was another super secret source? I've not used any of these folks and truely would like something that at least holds up as well as what I got from vanguard last, so.. any PMs directed if someone doesn't wanna post something .. fine. ;-)

I see fb.com is affiliated in some way with 800nametape .. which I need to call and order stuff, 'cause I wanna replace all the blue stuff with like aged stuff and their fabric name tapes kick butt.

I wear mine with my Senior Parachutist wings. Any yahoo can land a plane. You gotta have something special to jump out.

Special to fall and hit the ground??? Now if you managed to miss it...

SJFedor · June 19, 2009, 10:39:01 PM

well, i guess FB was nice while it lasted....

a2capt · June 19, 2009, 10:48:55 PM

Oh good lord.

I can just see this now.. "Lets go read CAPTalk to see who to send a C&D to next" ..

Whatever.

it's NOT a real secret, you can type in flight badge civil air patrol in google and find about 10 places. If our "secrets" are this well hidden, but yet this obvious .. then we're in real trouble.

The reason I was asking, was for input from actual orders .. and this whole C&D super secret sauce debate comes up again. Do you think they are really that daft that they can't find whatever they are looking for without CAPTalk forums?

Puh-lease.
