A smallish DCL patch?

[squirk]

I have a linen shirt that has become my unofficial "cruising shirt" (says my family) and has a little sentimental value attached to it for reasons I won't bore you with. The shirt is in fine shape....save for the hole that appeared out of nowhere on the front near the bottom.

The hole is 1" in diameter, and I am sure it can be stitched back together unobtrusively. However, the location of the hole would lend itself nicely to a small patch for a little DCL flair, similar to a hem tag. Etsy has tons of DCL patches, but most of them have at least one dimension that's 4" or larger, and that's way too big.

I'm looking for something roughly 1.5"-2" in diameter. Other than continuing to scour Etsy, does anyone have a suggestion on a source for something like this? I know it's a little particular.

Thanks!

Almost all etsy shops I've seen have an option to contact the seller...

Thx. Yes, that's true. But rather than vetting Etsy sellers for a custom job, I was hoping there was someplace on the interwebs that already had on-hand what I am looking for. Some would call my tactic "laziness", but I don't want to put too much time into this. I can live with the simple stitch job.

A handy seamstress could make something for you with an old DCL lanyard... Cut out the logo with surrounding plain are large enough to cover the hole. Sew two together if you have to (one above, one below) - I suggest a zigzag stitch. And put fray check on the end.

Totally doable.

Knew I should have kept those lanyards for a reason......

If someone you know has an embriodery machine they should easily be able to make something that small. I've made patches about that small with baseball logos and such. Shouldn't be too hard to make a DCL one.
