Back in the day, when patches were a buck and the t-shirts and hats could be picked up for less than $5 we used to trade them or even give them away but this is the 21st century and prices have gone up a bit. We are working on finding a way that we can sell the t-shirts and hats with out loosing our........shirts.....sorry and the patches as well. Right now we have not been able to come up with a sure fire way of making sure orders come and go as they should. When we get that figured out and how to keep a resonable stock, we will also look at trading patches with incorporated or recognized fire companies as well. Keep checking here, maybe later in the winter and with hope, we will have some kind of system figured out.
