Has anyone removed the label and placed a woven patch on this glorious bag?

@Alex, @Giles so I can see if they fit between the two rivets and stitch lines, and if it's not too much of a bother, would it be possible to get a pic or two of the bag with the following woven patches laid on the front pocket? Type 1, 7 and 13/14/ or 15?

Ta muchness!

Thank you so much @Alex you are so kind.

I'm glad they fit, I personally think type 1 and 14 patches look sweet. Type 7 is a little large personally for this application.

I welcome any thoughts before ordering. I see you've 9 or so in stock

Top and bottom pics from Alex (so to speak), are my faves.

[GC]

Thanks @neph93 I'm totally with you on that. I'm gonna go with type 1, I think the length/proportion looks bob on.

@Giles I just heard back from @Chesson thank you sir, order incoming!

[Giles]

[GC]

Oh yeah! Thats amazing, thanks! So to complete my stealth upgrade, I just need to remove the label and accept what lies beneath 

That brass snap looks boss alongside the other brass hardware!

Nice touch @GC …make it your own man

[GC]

Thanks @dinobarnesberlin I'll post some pics here soon after it lands tomorrow. Talk about a swift turnaround, thanks guys!

@Giles if the std badge is glued and then stitched in place, do you have any tips on removing gluey residue, or what type of glue might be used?

My fall back will be to put it back, or place the new woven patch in its place  Either way, I am hoping I don't fess it up!

[Giles]

I'll see if I can find out for you.

@Giles that would be brilliant, thanks in advance.

It is glued @GC. That stopped me from pulling it up. I probed between the label and the bag using a needle. It won’t let itself be lifted and the needle tip came back out quite sticky. So far I’ve left it at that.

[GC]

Thanks @motojobobo that is good to know, before I attempt removing it. Would you have said, given the glue sounds like it hadn't gone off, it would pick and flick, so to speak? I was thinking of the freezing technique often used to remove chewing gum?

Don’t know enough about glue to answer that. I suppose you could also sew on your new patch over the original label without removing it. Bet it’ll completely cover it.

[GC]

That is true, the only first world issue with that is, the badge then needs to sit high and tight to the snap. Cheers @motojobobo , I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I'll share the outcome here, which will probably result in me chickening out and leaving it exactly as it is… lets see.

Black Sharpie?

[GC]

Every tool box and repair kit in the land needs one 

[GC]

Couldn't be happier with this bag! If the military made bags, I doubt it would be tough as this.

Absolutely love the brass snap swap out too, IMO the perfect marriage.

I'll hopefully report back later this week when I have more time to experiment with badges, and the volume of beer it can house.

[dinobarnesberlin]

It came out looking sharp @GC..everything fits.

Looks like its built like a tank and Im gonna go out on a limb and guess that Beer volume/transportation should be a breeze.
