This domain previously hosted an unrelated embroidery design business that has since closed. The Patch Reference is not that business, is not affiliated with its former owner, and cannot help with orders, downloads or accounts from the previous site.

Military and organisational insignia are described here for reference only. Names, emblems and insignia belong to their respective organisations, and nothing on this site should be read as permission to reproduce or wear them. Regulations change — check the dated source cited on each page before relying on it.
