The “Unicorn Flaps” of Tomo Chi-Chi Lodge
When I joined Patch-L in 2007, I had a lot of requests to help people fill their needs in their collections. One popular request was the S28, S29, and the S30. The more I looked into it, the more I realized I had never seen these flaps. This is why I am calling them the …Read More

The open door and the plume of smoke coming out …Read More
The Most Beautiful Swiss Patch From Tomo Chi-Chi 119
The Tomo Chi-Chi Lodge 119-R2 is, in my opinion, one of the nicest examples of Swiss embroidery from 119. I might be a little biased, as I was just a Cub Scout when these patches were issued to my dad and older brothers, and I didn’t get my hands on one (and corresponding flap) until …Read More
