I’d painted over the silver FedEx with some black paint, but the paint didn’t stick to the reflective FedEx silkscreen ink. So I had this patch made by a woman in Ukraine that I found on Etsy. She did some other patches for me as well. I used Gorilla Clear Grip contact cement because I did not want to sew through the liner layers to affix the patch. I lifted the GMC jpeg from the internet, then changed the colors to get along with the parka, then had the Ukrainian woman make me the patches from the jpeg. First try at such a thing and I am satisfied.
More to follow...

I have a nice Carhart jacket that I got from a company that later fired my ass that unfortunately has a big logo embroidered on the back. You have me thinking of ways to cover that up.

This came out pretty well. I made a video of myself affixing the patch last night. The adhesive is a little bit difficult to work with. First time I’d used it.
I’ll be posting the video in a day or two and I’ll make sure you see it. The patch only cost me about $12, as I recall, with shipping, and it’s the only one like it in the universe.

I bought the FedEx parka from someone on Ebay because I thought they looked like good parkas. I worked at UPS for a minute sorting packages at the Oakland Airport, injured my back, and so on.

I have a Patagonia jacket from my old company with an embroidered logo...which now has a Rocky Mountain National Park patch covering it. I looked at vintage track patches but it’s still a work jacket so I wanted something that wouldn’t prompt conversation.

Exactly, I don’t want to explain how I used to work at that place but got fired every time I go outside wearing it. I’ll have to find patches that would cover both the large logo on the back and the small one on the breast but that shouldn’t be too hard.

my old ambulance service gave out super heavy parkas to all employees as part of the winter uniform. one of the ones that has a lighter jacket zipped into it. so when i was fired i just had my wife take the company patches off and now its my snow shoveling coat. Id wear it around more in the winter but its bright red and i dont like sticking out much haha

Thanks. I've been mulling over how and what to do for years. In all, I am satisfied with it.
