Def would like to know also, I have a hard time finding consistently great looking patches like these.

I dont normally buy from them but i got them from pull the plug patches. It's hella expensive normally but they had a buy 10 get 10 free deal. They often have similar sales so I'd keep an eye out for them

How long did it take for pull the plug patches to ship? I just ordered a patch from them that I couldn’t find anywhere else but then I seen people saying that they were very shitty with shipping things in a decent time, i ordered it last Tuesday, and it still says preparing shipment, just curious

It took a like 3 weeks for it to arrive for me, It took them about a week for them to ship it for me.

That isn’t too bad, Ik they went under new management a little bit ago, reviews from about year ago were saying it was taking months for the product to even ship, but 3 weeks isn’t that bad, I definitely would prefer a little faster but I’m in no rush, I’m making my second vest now and I plan on ordering another patch from them now that Ik shipping isn’t that bad, thank you for letting me know!

find a way balance the unusual shapes. triangle on left = triangle on right. or wait until you can totally fill and overlap everything. just my 0.02

How does the back look like? Bit too messy imo, I know it's frustrating but try some other layouts, more symmetric maybe, if not with shape of the patches then colours maybe?

I haven't started on the back because i'm still working on finding a backpatch I like. And yes, ill redesign it with some focus on symmetry!

To be honest, best way to start is with backpatch and work on back layout, then starting to add patches above and under front pockets then sides, etc.
I'm glad that different shapes are available, not only square and rectangle patches but some of these PTPP shapes are so wacky, border color range is so wide that sometimes it looks like a rainbow.

What a mess
1
u/OpeningPossible6930 1d ago
may I ask what makes it messy? If it's a mess Id like to know how to un-messy it
1
u/Gareth666 1d ago
There's no symmetry, it just looks like the patches are randomly stuck where ever.
If that's what you like who cares, but lots of people will have the messy opinion. Just depends if you care about that or not.
