What's the latest gouge on who to go with for nametags and custom patches?

Old threads mention ProgSpec, AviatorGear, eSnacko, etc...  but the info is dated.  I am also aware of Nametages4U.

I'm also looking for aircraft briefing sticks and models (metal or wood)... preferably a company that can do custom paint/decals.  I saw one some time back that did a great custom Alpha Jet briefing stick but don't recall the name anymore.  

I'd like to hear your recommendations.  Thanks.  

 

Postal does some good patch design and production as an option there. 

Got my briefing sticks a couple years ago at aviatorgear, pretty happy with them. Did great with customizing decals.

Ramaworld does patches, bag take, scarves, etc. Also happy with their stuff, minus their visor covers

Wow.  Thanks for the quick replies.  I'll look at these previously unknown options.  Much appreciated.

Terrible website, quick/quality cloth nametags and customer service. E-mailing Dave is easiest if you know what you want.

He’s got Christmas lights in the window, so you know it’s good.

Curious as to why you're not a fan of their visor covers...in the process of designing/ordering some for my squadron and was looking at them as an option...

Quality wasn't where it should've been. The heritage patch looked off, and it just felt flimsy. I'd recommend getting a sample first before a full buy. It was a new product for them when my last sq ordered them, so hopefully they've improved their visor covers over the last couple years to match the quality of their other items. Customer service was great through, were able to return the visor covers for a refund.

Want to give props to David Davies of myfinishingtouch.com Not too many patch companies are willing to custom design one off patches. David has done it for me several times.

Another vouch for David from myfinishingtouch.com.  He did a couple nametags for me with a C-17 on one and a T-6 on another and then also a couple tab patches for me.  All of them turned out great with a pretty quick turnaround.
