I've noticed AB Emblem produces a large (about 8 inch) version of space shuttle mission and expedition patches. Does anyone know why these are made? Who are they are for? How many are made? |

I'm sure some people enjoy the larger versions. More practically, I imagine there are NASA technicians who wear them on the backs of lab coats and such. |

Montage patches aside, which were created with collectors and enthusiasts in mind, the large format mission patches began (to my knowledge) with STS-114. |

I can confirm that oversize patches exist (see this thread) for STS-51L, STS-26 and STS-28. I'm not sure when these were made however. |

I have a 8 inch 51-L that I got back around the time of the flight, and a 6x5 inch 61C. I can't remember where I purchased them, however. |

It'd be nice to see what the back of the 51L patch looks like. |

(Not all are 8" though, but all are oversize from the normal mission size patch).STS-61C, STS-49, STS-50, STS-107 (Memorial), STS-116, STS-117, STS-118 (Anderson), and STS-118 (Drew). ISS-12, and ISS-13 (Reiter). | |
