I’m interested in having some patches made for a worthy cause. Would anyone recommend a maker I should consider?

I've used Walter and a couple others for my patches.  Walter is by far the best!  He's a great person and he's into bikes also.

Another vote for Walter, if I needed patches, it'd be him in a heartbeat. A great patchmaker and a genuinely good person.

I'll throw in another recommendation for Falls Creek Outfitters. I'd also like to recommend an illustrator if you need help creating the patch's original artwork which will employ the amazing capability of Walter's machinery. For the Cross New Hampshire Adventure Trail, my partner Marianne Borowski worked with illustrator Spencer Hawkes to create the artwork for the suite of logos, stickers and patch. Spencer, who is an avid cyclist, did a fantastic job in capturing the spirit of the project. He also handled the interface with Falls Creek, including a few design enhancements to the samples to make the final product perfect.

The XNHAT patch is here.

Find Spencer here.
 
I hadn't paid much attention to patch construction before observing this project, and frankly I was kind of blown away by the level of detail that is available from modern (CNC, I presume) embroidery machines. Makes me want to go see one in operation.

Good luck with your upcoming project.

Cheers,

Thumbs up for Walter! His patches are fantastic. 

He has made all of our ours, including our most popular:


His page:


Jon Grant designs our patches, and he and Walter worked out details that I hadn't even considered:


I first worked with Jon when he did the graphics for the Saluki, way back in '05. He also did the Bleriot.

Yeah! Walter! Falls Creek! Woo.
He does to small quantities as well as large.
He does all my Tarik Saleh Bike Club patches as well and the quality is top notch:
(all patches in stock for ordering BTW).

Association of Caffeinated Wheelers Brad does all my design, and his patches are also made by walter.
