About this site

I have created this site to bring together as much information as possible on the embroidered space patches produced by the Lion Brothers company.

Although not the official producer of patches for NASA, the quality of their space patches both in terms of artwork and embroidery is generally thought to be among the best of the Apollo era. Coupled with their relative scarcity this has made Lion Brothers space patches highly collectible.

This site should provide the collector with a complete list of their Apollo and Shuttle-era patches, as well as details of some rare prototype patches and background notes on when their patches were produced, what techniques were used in their production and where they were sold.

If you have more information on Lion Brothers space patches that you'd like to see added here please send me an e-mail

Many of these patches are available to buy in my eBay Store:
