i really wanted to go push my plank earlier yesterday but it was pouring like mad so, i left the house late in the evening to meet up with some of my buddies down town. but before that, i stopped by at a store in peninsula shopping centre to pick these last two (lucky me!) bootleg independent truck company patches up. no, not from spitfire skateshop. but anyways, they were supa' dirt cheap, for a couple of not too bad quality embroidered patches, in my opinion.
i do not always get fake nor imitation goods, especially when it comes to skate products, unless it's of good quality and these patches above, looks quite remarkably genuine but that's just one mans' opinion. they could just may be replicas, who knows?
also, nhs, inc doesn't ship their products abroad and i don't wanna pay crazy money just to purchase some silly patches from online skateboarding distribution companies.
below are a couple of the original independent truck company logo patches from online skate distros and dog damn, they are hella' expensive and that is not even inclusive of the cost of postage and handing yet. ridiculous, i tell ya'!

the og ones and the imitation ones looks quite similar, don'cha think? so, who gives a hoot? not me, really!
peace.
p.s. it is a known fact that the actual trucks of independent truck company are made in usa. but what about their soft goods? almost every other skateboarding brands and companies are outsourcing their merchandise to china and third world countries. so, you can't really tell, if those patches that i scored, are really fake, right?
