Tipsy Gypsy Leather Patches

Interested in a trade? I'm about 15 lbs heavier now than I was when I got mine and it barely fits! Can't really afford a new one and they'll never give me a replacement.

Nancy Harbison (tailor shop) on backside of Lynnhaven Mall can do it all. They did all my Typsy Gypsy patches when I finally go tthem last year. Thye can also do custom ribbons, name tapes, embroidered custom patches, etc. Send me a PM if you need a better steer.

Damn Bevo... just throw me under the bus why don't ya. :icon_tong
You're not in NORVA! Or is it you don't think PRs are up to it???
The PRs in my shop admitted to the latter.... just sayin...
Nancy Harbison's is so good I actualy had some suits tailored there. They definitely know their stuff, and are very capable of custom work. Make sure they remove the jacket's lining before stitching in the patch, then restich it. Makes for a more professional job. Whidbey cleaners did this for mine, and it looks really good, except its a little too high...bastards.
There is a tailor shop in the Midtown shopping center at the intersection of Granby and Little creek. (Same mall as Uncle Louie's) They sewed my leather patches onto my jacket with no problems.
It's right near NOB so if you're up there, it's an easy drive.

Uncle Louie's is also best place to eat in that entire area! It closed for awhile, which was a hearbreaker for a lot of regulars. If you want a decent setting and good eats near the base, there are not a lot of choices.
Nancy was a widow of an EA-3 aviator and became the Naval Exchange Tailor upon his unfortunate demise. When Exchange downsized, she established the same capability off campus with same crew. She has passed away now as well, but not before creating a pretty unique shop near NAS Oceana. I went there when I needed new cuffs and waistband for my G-1 and kept going back for all my tailoring needs.
Concur. The place is great and they know military uniforms through and through. They even provide the gold striping for SDBs, know where to place them and ask no questions. Great embroidery for flight suits too.
Kathy is the POC there.
Miss Suki outside of Little Creek's Gate 5 did mine and they look great. They are located on the East side of Independence Blvd. just south of the Hwy. 13 overpass.
