It's Good to be King, if Just for a While











I FOUND THESE PATCHES ON EBAY. Neither the seller nor I have any idea as to their origins or meaning, but I can make some good guesses. I really love the ones with the lightning bolts... me thinks it must be for the radio operators.

Rank. Degree. Hierarchy. Order. It’s the way the world works. It’s the way corporate America works. It’s the way nature works. I don’t like it, but it will never change.

Via ebay.

I like the one with the fan on it, and don't try to tell me it's a propeller.

At first glance I thought they were ski caps. Wouldn't that be cool.

I thought they were ski caps too.
Turns out they're Royal Navy insignia.
