I am putting together a Lighthouse Tender Uniform prior to the Coast Guard taking over. Looking for 1" anchor patch also a hat device both of these are embrodiered. Can Jo Anns do these for me I see they have the computer controled machines? I got a us navy service jacket of ebay which I can addapt but need the officers cap to either coast guard style or navy style with white or navy blue top. Anyone know where to get some of this stuff. I am volunteering at the pounce inlet lighthouse here in Florida

S&S Firearms carries embroidered anchor patches, both plain and fouled.

CB - the link that RCJ gave you is the closest replica you can find.
It is very hard to find embroidery people to do this work. I thought I had one lined up through some local contacts but that did not work out.
If you find someone local and willing - i have some jobs...
Ponce inlet light is a pretty place - been there several times.

Nice, but now there is one minor problem, I have a song stuck in my head. ::) Yes the "I want to marry a lighthouse keeper" from a Clockwork Orange. ;D
