This edition of ClothTalk, strays from the local and goes international. While my collecting centers around New York State, It is always interesting to hear about other areas of collecting from those who know about them.
ClothTalk 012 – Patches… Wait wait: “Badgesâ€
Matt’s back! Ben, Matt and Tim learn about collecting “badges†in the UK and around the world. At the Big Pre-NOAC Trade-o-ree, we had a moment to sit down with Mike Gosseling (also known as ‘The Transatlantic Trader’). Learn about woven badges verses the “Swiss Loom†patches we see most often in America. We also talk to Mike about how he and his fellow British Scouts are preparing to host the 2007 World Jamboree! Be sure to check out the International Badgers Club (www.intbc.org) for more information on patch trading and patch collecting across the globe.
