Damn, there's a shop that's always at the shows that sells loads of things like Toccoa T-Shirts, Hershey Bars, fridge magnets, stickers and also patches.

I can't remember the bloody name of them though!

Anyone?

One quickie question chaps and chapesses. Is there a precisness as to where it goes on the arm? ie x inches from top seam x inches from side seam? or just a case of sew on as best fit?

Left shoulder about half an inch from the shoulder seam, in the middle of the arm in line with the length-fold seam.

Yanks were never that fussy in reality. As you can see by the numerous pics here:
