For all you patch collecting Carradice users

Don't know if this is the right board or if it would be better moved elsewhere?

Carradice have released a 90 year commemorative patch

Not buying it with a plastic hat in the picture.  Ruins the vintage vibe totally.

I noticed that too. Thought it strange for a vintage anniversary.

Could they run up a batch without a helmet on the rider?


[Edit: aka, a Special Edition patch]

My thought exactly.

TBF if it wasn't for the plastic hat the image would be timeless.

I am getting one . My Mums going to embroider a woolly  hat over the plastic skid lid .

Apart from the LED rear light on the saddlebag and the colour of the saddlebag itself. My 40 year old Nelson Longflap is black, as are most old Carradice bags (really old ones would be a Sun bleached grey). Not sure when green Barleys came in.

I thought that "LED" was the leather patch in the middle of the bag flap.

And as for that level of pedantry, I adjust my previous statement to "TBF if it wasn't for the plastic hat the style of image would be timeless."

I was focussed on the general image and the scenery and did not notice the rider’s headgear first time.
Why, I wonder, are the roses white?

Thank you for posting - I would likely have missed this otherwise

I note, but had not noted before that the rose on the Carradice website is white, and the one on my bag is whitey-silver when it's not reflecting more than daylight.

Was HW a Yorkist Splitter?
