hey guys, I know there are a ton of threads on this already, but I’ve heard a lot of nightmare stories…
so, who would be the best option as far as getting a custom name patch or two done?
With my jumpsuit in ruins from halloween (hell of a night… my poor thrower is in worse shape than Ray’s in Casper… -shudder-), I’m going to be retiring it and going with two new ones (classic khaki and a charcoal gray).
Thanks in advance for the input guys.
I have Katarra’s patch from ebay and a lot of people recommend her custom patches. She also ships really fast and I never had a problem with her. I know she has been recommended a lot as her name patches look very accurate. I hope this helps.
heh, helps a TON. I was just browsing E-bay too and saw her name pop up.
Thanks for the feedback!
I think you would be very happy with her namepatch. You could also get her no ghost patch too and be done with it. I have it and I don’t have any complaints. I know people people recommend no ghost patches from other places too since Katarra’s doesn’t have the black outline. If your looking for the namepatch you might be needing both anyway. She does ship fast, even if you do order a custom name patch.
Ok, I need some help with the namepatch. Does Katarra make GB1 namepatches or GB2? I’m looking for the best custom GB1 namepatch. Any help? I’ve contacted three eBay sellers and each says they don’t do them.
I put up a comparison pic of a good GB1 namepatch and a katarra patch in this thread
As far as I know she just does the one style, which is like a mix of both styles. GB1 height, GB2 font.
Anyone have a link or way to get ahold of Kezzerman? I can’t seem to be able to search eBay by sellernames anymore.
It may be somewhere in this thread.
Some sign he’s still around.
i ordered a custom GB1 name patch from kerezman in late september. when it was looking like i wouldn’t get the patch by halloween, i did a little research and whipped up a nametag in adobe illustrator, which i then took to a local embroidery shop to have sewn. i think mine actually came out MORE accurate that kerezman’s. the kerezman patch is a VERY quality piece, though.
if you have time, kerezman isn’t a bad choice… but be prepared for a long wait. if you start to get worried, a paypal dispute will usually put him in gear.
Did you use a specific font in illustrator or was it all done by hand?
all of the font work was done by hand. i had an image of all four GB nametags, and i took as many letters from that image as i could to make my last name, then traced over in illustrator. the only letter i had to mock up was “B”.
the embroidery shop charged $20.
Do you have the source files still? And does your file cover the letters in my name (hint, it’s my username)?
I agree, she did and excellent job on mine and rushed my order. I received it just 2 days after placing my order.
I agree. I got mine within two days after I placed the order, and more importantly, it is perfect! I might order a couple more from her, just because lol.
