An Unsung Firefly prop- the browncoat "code" patch..

David, since you would be using it for display, what about using one of those inkjet "T Shirt" iron on papers to put the lettering on the back?

Not sure if the eBay patches have "iron on" glue on the back of them, which might make that difficult.... :confused

Thing is, if the ebay ones are fully embroidered, they're wrong for the patch.

yeh i dont get the thyroid part lol... i was just highlighting what was there lol
i suppoise this could open doors to folks making their own

It looks like it could be "THYRIO" to me. On Earth-That-Was it's a village in Greece. Maybe it's a place name?

Makes sense considering so many planets use Greek themes.

I like that theory quite a bit.

i got one of those EBay patches with the incorrect BLACK star...
so i figured id put it to good use and use the back...

whatcha think?

 

[Darth Brass]

That's pretty awesome!

 

[DavidS]

notice how even the stains on it are correct lol lol
i gotta get some whiteout or someting and do an artificial "wearing down" of the edges...

Sweet! Did you use the iron on stuff for the back and was there an issue with the glue on the patch itself?

 

[DavidS]

i actually used the cotton paper, so its nice and textured...
i just let the glue on the actual patch itself to all the adhering and it worked great...

Looks awesome!

Does anyone have any idea what font they used for this? I want to make a custom backer for the browncoat patches I just got.

What sort of cotton paper did you use? Surely not just regular cotton paper - that looks just like paper. Is there some sort of fabric-look textured paper that can go through a printer?

Also, I'm interested in finding what font they used too. Any ideas?
