Default CP Gear

A Canadian company that is selling private purchase gear. They also custom make cadpat titles and epaulettes and provide Blood type and allergy patches. The prices are interesting, . Worth checking out. An unofficial source of insignia, but are they selling many? http://www.cpgear.com/index.htm
Caveat, I have no connection or interest in this supplier.

Canadian Cadpat titles seem to be getting a premium price when auction lots are sold. The average price is in the $3-$5 US range per tab. Kinda crazy.

Maybe somebody wrote a book on shoulder titles and now suddenly they're more collectible?

No, not yet. We're waiting for you to do it now that you've got your combat titles book out.

Hey Bill
The reason for some manufacturers making titles is that Grant Emblems who are the biggest DND supplier for embroidered items can not keep up with demand and units are looking at 6-12+ months to get unit titles etc. So there is a large shortage and that is putting it nicely. The same goes for nametags. You are lucky if you get them in a year. Thusly most people are going out and getting them made for themselves or for unit purchase. I hope this helps
Dave
