Nancy Harbisn Tailoring in Oceana F'd my patches.

Stopped by Nancy Harbison Tailoring to ensure my patches were sewn on my leather jacket correctly as I heard this was a good place to go in Oceana. I specifically asked how they would be securing the patches, no tape etc etc. I was told they would trace an outline and go from there. Got it back the other day and my name tag came out great... The flag however.... Well it appear they decided to stick 5-8 pins through it in order to hold it in position while it was sewn on. Is this standard practice or am I rit in being as furious as I am at them that my new patch that I delivered to them in a plastic sheath now has a bunch of holes in it?

With all the patches I've had sewn on over the years, as soon as 'standard' size pins were pulled out, they left no holes. Either they used ten-penny nails, or the patches may be substandard material.

He had leather patches, so they don't deal as well as fabric with being poked.
Ah so, to us...patches were all of the cloth type, the only leather item was the left breast nametag.
