Flight Suit Question

[2d Lt Lee Ashley]

I am fighting a real mental block tonight!

I am trying to get my flight suit ready for wear and I am having trouble remembering the name for the black square name plate and where to find them.

Its called a flightbadge.

Vanguard would be the primary source, but there are others - Google is your friend.

39-1 refers to it as a leather name patch. They're also referred to as Leather Nameplates, Aircrew Style Name Plate (ASNP), and leather nametags. There's probably a few other things they're referred to, but those are probably the most common.

I need to figure out where the nicer looking ones that have really decent stitching around the borders, nice consistent imprinting and are not so glossy you can use it as a signal mirror .. Even paying for Vanguard's "premium" one, thats what I got and the printing wore off within months.

Isn't the ASNP the embroidered version that we aren't allowed to wear?

And if you're the 2d Lt. Lee Ashley that I know ...

Welcome to CAPTalk!!!

(Same applies if you aren't, but remove the bold-italic-underline bit.)

At flightbadge.com you can get with or without border stitching.

Not in the context that I know it. The Air Force referred to it as such when they went to it on BDUs some years ago. Only a leather one was allowed on BDUs.

But will they do CAP badges?
 
Most of the places that do this stuff have stopped doing CAP stuff because they got a C&D letter.

And our minuscule marketshare usually isn't worth the time and effort to fight it.

They do. Check the site for the options available.

They are an official CAP sponsor, as has been discussed here before.

What is an official CAP sponsor?  Like the corporate members?  Regardless, does National allow them to do these?

As-in they have officially sponsored Regional Conferences, so NHQ is fully aware of their existence.

I don't know if that means anything.  One hand and another hand - that kinda thing.

And the Hock Shop used to advertise in the CAP News too...

Not relevant - that was during a time before CAP had an exclusive contract with an outside company which is contractually bound to enforce that exclusivity.
