Maybe a weird question patches

I may have some here, I'll look around.

I don't use them. I use a Sharpie instead.

I have smocks, but the only ones that get used here are by female students and friends. Baffles me.

These are tough paper, disposable, some have soft elastic necks.
I first saw then at the dental office, found a supplier.

Personally I like the patch. If a smock is no longer usable you can just put it on a new one.
 
My memory is still good enough to remember what events I attended. I don’t need a patch yet. I’ve been shoveling out my den lately. You collect a lot of “stuff” in 53 years of woodworking. AND, I’m certain my kids will throw that kind of stuff in the garbage skiff that gets delivered in the not too distant future!
 
I looked it up on eBay found a few. Although shipping costs have me confused a 3×2 $8 patch , shipping to Australia $42. ???
