I finally finished putting patches on my vest for the space museum. It took a couple of weeks because I don't know how to sew very well and my fingers hurt. I realized after I had started that the patches weren't on exactly centered or straight but I put in so much effort that I can live with the outcome. :)
We are allowed to customize our vests a little, so I added my X-Files, Apple, UA, American flag and September 11 pins. I put the Alan Shepard patch on the front because he is my favorite astronaut and the Apollo 11 ribbon because it is so unique!

I've been looking for a jacket just like yours, but in *royal blue*. I can't find one anywhere in google or on ebay or amazon. Do you have any suggestions on where I could find one (I'll add my own badges and buttons). Here's an example of what I'm looking for (from the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum):

P.S. I tried to send you an e-mail, but AOL wouldn't accept the address you show...
I don't know off the top of my head where they purchase their vests from, but I can certainly ask the next time I am there.
Good luck finding what you are looking for in the meantime!! :-)
