Hi...

I have been trying to find a Patch for the game...No not a game patch..:D ,but a cloth patch to sew on my jeans etc...I have a collection of many including other games and music related.. etc

I think there is great scope for patches...eg the symbology is great for the runes,pagan symbol,....Bluewatch lantern brigade...lol,Hammerite symbol or a picture of garrett...but have been unable to locate any...were they ever made?

If anyone knows of a seller somewhere in the world please point me in the right direction.

Your best bet might be just to have one custom made. I'm sure a quick google search could find you some cheap alternatives. It unforunately seems that, besides cardboard and plastic, there is far too little Thief memorabelia (spelled right?)

I agree...the scope for merchandise should have cornered...lol,sadly there has never been much around.

Thanks for the comment I will try some word searches.

JonesCrusher... You might want to rename your thread (just a suggestion, don't kill me), as I literally only clicked on this thread because I thought it was regarding an actual thief game patch. That's because I like to help if possible, but others might not click it thinking you're referring to a patch for the game.

Thief Appliqués...

Unless someone wants to surprise us and tell us they know about the existence of some official Thief merchandise that isn't game software, the only stuff I've ever heard of has been made for the game development teams or for gatherings like E3. All else I know of has been fan-made...or...whatever?

I used to work in the embroidery industry. Your best bet for having something custom made would be to get friendly with a neighbor or friend who has an embroidery machine and the software that will allow them to do their own digitizing. The types of people with machines like that are the quilting Martha Stewart types.
You could take a design in to a screen-printing/embroidery place- but at such a small quantity, prepare to pay out the nose. The digitizing alone would cost probably $50+ And they would probably balk in the face of copyright.

So, it's a bit of a long shot, but if you or maybe your mother knows someone that's an embroidery hobbiest, you might just be able to get all sorts of apparel done. And they often like to take on projects for people. It makes them feel good and helps them justify having bought an expensive machine.
