Below you will find the places to order your very own 76IntBat swag. We currently have lanyards, mugs (large and medium) as well as shot glasses. Look below for more detailed descriptions of each item.
We will be attending Dragon*Con again this year, and if you would prefer, we can just as easily deliver your swag to you at the convention.
Lanyards
The right side (as you are wearing it) says "76TH INDEPENDENT BATTALION", and the left side says "WE WILL HOLD THE LINE". These lanyards are made of 4-5 oz leather, hand stamped, stained, sealed and conditioned to hold up to most everything you can dish out. The bottom of the lanyard is a 1" diameter split ring (like used with key rings), riveted on either side, in such a way that it will always lay flat.
It is also
possible to have your lanyard personalized with your callsign across the
back of the lanyard.
All lanyards are $10, standard or personalized.
We've got two different sizes of mugs available, 20oz and 12oz. Both are made the same way, with 6-8oz vegetable tanned leather, hand tooled, painted and stitched. The mugs are then baked to harden the leather, and sealed on the inside with a mixture of beeswax and brewer's pitch. You can drink practically anything not hot out of these mugs, and they'll last a very long time.
We also are giving a 20% discount to the 76ers for ordering these mugs in bulk. However, I am not going to wait until there are 10 orders before I start making them. So, for you first brave 9 that order, you will be paying full price for the mugs. Then, when there are enough orders for the discount, we will be refunding the difference to you. Also at that time, the prices on the web page will be updated to reflect the current (discounted) prices.
There are several different styles of handles we can use on your mug.
This is to further customize your mug, making it even more of a
one-of-a-kind item. The picture above shows the wrapped handle (left)
and the standard (right) handles. The picture below shows our other
options:
The left mug is the standard handle.
The middle mug has the braided handle.
The right mug has the twisted style.
The bottom piece shows the woven handle style (I still have to get a picture of an actual mug with that handle style being used.
If you are interested in a mug, these are all of the choices you need to make:
- Mug Size:
Large Mug (6" tall, approx. 20 oz): $60 ($48 after bulk discount)
Medium Mug (5" tall, approx. 12 oz): $45 ($36 after bulk discount) - Personalize mug with call sign: $5 extra
- Handle Style:
Standard strap handle: no extra charge
Braided or Twisted handle: $2 extra
Woven or Wrapped handle: $5 extra
We also have shot glasses. These have the same unit patch logo, but are constructed a bit differently, due to them being quite small (2" tall). The leather is fairly thin, so the finished shot glasses are saturated with beeswax (really strengthens the leather), instead of baking to harden the leather. This will give the leather a deep, dark brown color, and make it feel somewhat like plastic, but believe us, it's actually leather. Also due to the small size, there really isn't a way to personalize the shot glasses.
Shot glasses are $25 each ($20 after bulk discount).
