Title: Embroidered shooting jacket
Post by: Nevada Smith on October 01, 2009, 02:43:43 PM
Here's an idea for "dressing up" a plain shooting jacket.

Cost was about $45. (BTW adding a name such as "NEVADA SMITH" in 1" block letters adds about $15 to the cost.)

Take the jacket to an embroidery business along with your own artwork or choose from their in-house selections.

In my case I chose the graphic used on the official state flag (which bears Nevada's slogan, "Battle Born," adopted on March 26, 1937--it means Nevada became a state during the Civil War). (The outline of the state of Nevada was added to the official graphic.)

(I hope Fred doesn't mind)

BTW it's a Creedmoor basic cloth shooting jacket (http://www.creedmoorsports.com/store/product.php?productid=16135&cat=249&page=1)

This jacket is not particularly well suited to wear while instructing (unless you're modeling) whereas Fred's is.

    No way I mind...

    Anyone who wants one of the jackets I sell is free to buy them direct from shootingmall.com, my supplier - would lighten the load here in the warehouse, so I can ship stocks instead. O0

    That's a nice graphic, and an even nicer saying, "Battle Born" - could apply to the entire US, certainly at least the first 13 states...

     We were definitely, as a nation, "born in battle" - and thank Heaven there were people willing to fight for little things like liberty, rather than a spot on the couch in front of the new plasma, envy of the rest of the neighborhood...
