U.S. Vietnam War Period Patches & cloth Insignia, Unit Patches, Squadron Patches, Rank Chevrons, Party Patches, Theatre Made, Machine Embroidered, etc., as available. |
|
| Please Note: The patches and cloth insignia listed here as "Vietnam Theatre Made," "Locally Manufactured," or " Handmade," refer to vintage, Vietnam War period, patches that are not like the mass-produced patches that we are familiar with today. These highly collected patches were produced individually by hand sewing or hand sewn on a sewing machine, in small shops, throughout Vietnam, as well as, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos. Some patches were somewhat more professionally machine embroidered in Korea, Okinawa, Taiwan, Japan and the Philippines. The collector interest and value of these patches lies in the individual artistic handmade rendering and crude quality of each patch. | |
