Jacket Patches?

[TFucili]

Here's a dumb one for you. I have a brand new work jacket I earned via advanced service training from a mfr I used to sell/service. Without a long diatribe, let's just say I have no interest in promoting the brand. I have removed the patches, but can' get the residue off, so I have been digging for iron-on patches to cover them up. The front is small and easy, but the back needs to be about 12" across. I favor something Cummins, Mack, Mopar, or Direct Connection, but have not had any luck. I have googleized, been on amazon and fleabay. Does anyone know of a source?

I did find a US flag patch big enough, but I know it will get dirty off-roading, or around the shop, and I hate to see a flag that's not properly presented.

I would prefer the Direct Connection. I have one on my Direct Connection jacket (May be in storage) and it was at least 12" long and maybe 6" tall. Probably will not be able to find those. A Cummins would be nice.

They have some cool stuff, just not big enough.

And lest you think I was not a Ford man at one time, here are my garage coveralls...

Just called the Cummins Powerstore, they switched suppliers a few years back and dropped the big patches....thought I might find some that were not on the site...

I was a Ford guy once upon a time too, even wore the hat...until I bought a 7.3 Powerstroke. That "cured" me and I've never looked back. That thing was a money pit.

Note down to the lower left of the page that they will do larger sizes, send them a message.....

Reading deeper it appears to come as a Zip file once you buy it or that's an option at lease. Do you have a local shirt shop or something similar that could download that into their machine?? I'm thinking that's how this goes...reach out to them, can't hurt to ask how it works...

How about embroidery? I know there are places like work n gear that will stitch in a design on new or your clothing.

There's an embroidery shop in town. I was going to head there to ask about it, but ended up on the garage roof winterizing the swamp cooler.

Isn’t winterizing a bad word out there? Swamp cooler?

Otherwise known as an evaporative cooler. The unit has a water reservior and a small pump that pumps water to the top where it then runs down some pads making them moist. A fan in theunit with a large squirrel fan then sucks outside air through the pads cooling the air and the fan also pushes the cooled air out the discharge and into the house/garage etc. They are good until the dew point gets to high around 55 and up then it just becomes a big humidity machine and you need to switch to air conditiioning if you have one otherwise from something like mid July till the end of Sept. is going to be miserable.

DavidC summed it up 100%. It's not unusual to see sub-freezing lows here. Seen twenties lots of times, and teens on somewhat rare occasion. Primarily, I clean the unit and pads, as the water is super hard and minerals build up. Install a solid cover on the intake to minimize cold air intrusion. I do drain the feed line which is small diameter. Not much to it.
