Reproduction Theater Made  Patches

These patches are all individually embroidered on the correct OD twill backing.  Each patch is slightly different since they are done by hand on a sewing machine, which is exactly the way original patches were made.  These are identical to patches made locally in Vietnam and used in large numbers by US troops due to the initial short supply of US made subdued on twill patches in country.  All patches are stamped "REPRO" on the back.
