I'm sending my jacket off to have some work done

[TLW '90]

My Taylor's CMPD is all packed up ready to ship out to Steve at Bedo's leatherworks tomorrow for some patchwork.
I've never done this kind of thing before and am a bit nervous because the jacket means a lot to me, but I know it'll be in good hands as long as it arrives safe and sound.
I had a couple of ideas that I gave some serious thought to but ended up settling on this.

On the right breast where the nametag hanger was I'm going to have a shield shaped leather patch ( maybe tobacco brown) ,with a dog bone and 3 paw prints
This is to represent my 3 pitty pups past and present, I've already personalized this jacket with things connected to my pitty pups and this is just another way to have them with me whenever I'm wearing the jacket

The 3" dog bone patch I ordered is white with a black outline, and the 12 pack of 5/8" paw prints I ordered are black with an orange outline.
I just hope the little 5/8" paw prints don't prove to be too small to sew.
I looked all over and couldn't find anything a little bit bigger.

If this turns out well I should have room to add additional paw prints throughout the years.

are you comfortable with people calling you paw patrol?

Bedo's is not a top choice for me. Have you looked around? There are several choices I would pick before sending it to that shop.

Is there any particular reason why ?
I watch his YouTube channel and from what I've seen he does good work.

Friend, personally, I do not consider his work top of the line. However, if you like what you see, who am I to deter you from him. Good luck with your project.

Well I never thought of that, but after looking up the logo I think I'm safe.
No words, more than just 1 paw print, and different colors.
Another thought is an oval with the dog bone and 3 paw prints in a row underneath it, or just the dogbone on an oval.

There will be communication back & forth and a final plan will be settled on before any work is done.

I have little experience with this kind of thing so I wouldn't really know I suppose.
I don't know anywhere else I'd send the jacket to so I contacted Steve.

Just don’t go for this arrangement
