I'm not sure what you mean? I know it's a high quality patch and I've not seen many of them.

The problem for bootleggers or distros selling bootleg merch selling designs like that in times like this - is that customers don't care about the supplier of the products need to make a return as much as they do about the cost of the product itself meeting their own expectations in terms of saving money. graphic designers with skill don't come cheap, neither do patches quality which can be bought without a paper trail, then you have to consider what can I sell this for? If It has cost $450 to produce 50 patches for example? Then you have shipping and handling to invoice the customer for and they don't want to pay shipping AND handling of say $2 they want it free. And then they argue the cost of the patch... Consider the other sides of it.

and it ends up on other sites designed to connect buyers with a need to sellers or distributors with a need to show what they have and offer it to the buyer.

If I have a patch of any sorts, official or unofficial; and someone likes it and wants it, and I use this site to find the vest that needs to be filled and I know the person likes that band; is it inappropriate to give that person a chance to have the patch of a band they like for the vest with space on it because some people don't like the patch even though I've found someone who does?

Embroidered is never meant to reproduce nice details of a design, or let's say, it isn't able to do so. Besides when people make this kind of stuff, they never care if it looks weird or not, just write: ultra limited and people would kill for that as long as it's "hard to find".

HellGuard on Thu, 14/04/2016 - 21:40

Yes that's the true, most people would just be happy with this and that, I could care less as long as it's their intention, however when people feel the urge to be different, to be a part of 1/100th, to be unique then all of sudden, here comes the market, the hype and everything else.

Embroidery can be done really good if the area is large, when you get into smaller patches the design gets compromised, kinda the opposite effect of what happens when you do printing with an image that will pixelate when it expands.

Also, consider this question - Who cares the least about the product or A product - the consumer, the distributor or the producer of a product itself?

And Brazilian! I've found so many unofficial items of band merch that are better than the official. The mind of a fan who bootlegs or distributes doesn't operate the same as a merchandiser who insists on licensing and legalities; fans are doing it for passion, merchandisers do it for profit.

HellGuard on Thu, 14/04/2016 - 21:52

As for embroidery, I'd have some different opinions, the details are still compromised even though the fabric is big enough, to be honest I don't have much of huge embroidered besides those faux leather BP from DWTMH, for instance, the Beherit BP looks nice, however if we look closely the black threads on goat horn, it looks like a 10 years old child stitches some random threads with a sewing machine.

And fans were doing it for passion until some of them figure out that they could make some quick cash with this, then here we are: bootleg section, daily update, always something new.

I never actually noticed that on the horn to be honest! Good observation.

when you have groups that are now defunct and not growing in reputation as much as bands which are touring and COULD produce the quality of merch that you're looking for and describing but choose NOT to, and lets even apply this to tshirts (because I've seen people pay ridiculous money for both official and unofficial shirts) - they COULD backdate shirts, they COULD come up with new designs for past releases with a cool new look, or make back patches for the legions that wear battle vests, or embroidered and woven patches without any significant relationship to an album or track title, but they CHOOSE not to or they choose to sign away their right to make that choice along with their creative ideas over to someone else who handles it and keeps people who buy the products with their name on waiting for something that isn't coming.

If selling unofficial patches was quick cash; this patch would be sold and the challenge of debating the merits the patch, as well as how, where and to who selling the patch to is done would not have happened at all. There's nothing easy when it comes to acquiring cash or customers in a competitive and complicated.
