Violent Little Machine Shop – Patrick Bateman Business Card Patch

Thursday, July 24th, 2014

Patrick Bateman: New card. What do you think?

Craig McDermott: Whoa-ho. Very nice. Look at that.

Patrick Bateman: Picked them up from the printer’s yesterday.

David Van Patten: Good coloring.

Patrick Bateman: That’s bone. And the lettering is something called Silian Rail.

Violent Little Machine Shop is now offering Patrick Bateman’s business card from the movie ‘American Psycho’ in patch form. Made from leather, the patch is a perfect copy of the card from the film, right down to the misspelling of “Aquisitions”.

3.5″ x 2″, hook backed, made in the USA.

Hail Columbia!

Sunday, July 20th, 2014

Before there was Uncle Sam, America was personified by a lady named Columbia. Wearing a Phrygian cap and adorned with the red, white and blue, she fell out of favor after World War I.

Columbia has always had a special place in my heart and this war bond poster remains my favorite. The recent rantgasm over the use of flag-like garments caused me to look at some illustrations of our American lady. I had forgotten how closely associated she was with the Stars and Stripes.

Gellman Gear Tactical – Team USA RWB Plate Carrier

Thursday, July 17th, 2014

We put this picture up on our Facebook page and it garnered a lot of attention, so in the interest of cool, custom gear, here’s the story:

The Team USA RWB (Red, White, and Blue) Plate Carrier was made by Fayetteville-based Gellman Gear Tactical as a small run for a specific group. Recently, they posted an auction on eBay for a custom version made to order for the winner. It was listed as being made from 1000D nylon with MilSpec elastic/webbing, buckles, and thread, removable shoulder pads, and a three (3) cell pouch “sized for 12-24 oz canned beverages”, built around the SAPI plate size requested. Although that auction has ended, don’t fret – there may be more of these carriers available at an undisclosed time if Gellman is able to source the proper hardware.

Keep an eye out on the Gellman Gear Tactical Facebook page and gellmangear.wordpress.com for more information.
