| Name Printing on Jacket (in MA)
I have not yet been in a tournament important enough to neccecitate (sp?) having one's name printed on one's jacket. Does anyone know of a place in Massachusetts not too far from the Boston area (or in it) where I can get my name printed on my jacket?
Help would be appreciated.

| Stacey Eddy does it. He is the "club director" at Bay State Fencers ( http://www.baystatefencers.com ). Cost is $20 for the name on the jacket or knickers, or lame, $25 if you want the country code on the jacket. (this was the cost when I had my jacket done over a year ago, may have changed since then).
Give him a call or stop by the club and he'll help you out.

| Find out who puts names on Baseball and Basketball jerseys for the nearest High School. I managed to get the right size blue letters for $0.50 a piece with no charge for HEAT PRESSING them on. They were totally fascinated that fencing even existed so they were all about getting it done "right"...

| Just about any local uniform or t-shirt shop should be able to print or embroider your name on a non-electric jacket or knickers for a reasonable price. If you need your name on a lame, though, get someone who knows what they're doing to do it in a way that does not affect the electrical conductivity of the lame.

But at one NAC a couple of years ago, refs started carding for it. If someone really wants to create an issue, embroidery can be deemed illegal -- as something that can obstruct or interfere with bladework. | |

| I know that there was an issue with fencers having their name embroidered too small, and being carded for that, some time ago. However, that's not the same as embroidery being absolutely disallowed, unless it was sloppily done. | |

I can see how a loose thread could catch a tip, or even an entire blade. The rules do allow a name to be "firmly sewn" onto the jacket. I think this implies that fabric letters can be sewn on or the name can be printed on a fabric panel, which is sewn onto the jacket. I would think that the rules would allow embroidery as well. As long as the embroidery is tight enough to not catch a tip, you should be ok.
As for a name that's printed with ink or dye by a uniform shop (or at home, even,) I don't see how you could get carded, provided that you make sure that the letters are blue, 8cm - 10cm high, and in an easily readable font.

| It was totally stupid, but a number of people (myself included) did get carded, despite the fact that the letters followed all protocol. And this was only a year or two ago -- in fact, I think it was at Richmond last year. It was enough of a problem that I have not worn that jacket at an NAC since. Just something to think about -- highly unlikely, but a danger nonetheless.

| If it was Richmond, I believe that was the time that the letter of the law was being enforced with regards to names. As far as the legality of any particular jacket, I can't comment on it without seeing it. | |

| Not only we are fencers but highly qualified referees and armourer we also teach on how to use the software for embroidery. We dont use a satin stitches which is a lose stitch. But we used a fill stitch which is a very tight stitch and cant catch a point. We have had going on 9years now with embroidery name on are uniforms. We have a program setup to the correct height and width for the names. The type of stitch used is important. It took us a week of testing various stiches to find the right one where it would not catch a point. Visit are site www.yeoldearmourer.com
PS my wife was fencing at the Ricamond NAC that year and She didnt have a problem because her name was done right in Height and the type of stitch. PS the FIE without thinking now requires the lettering to be 1cm to 1 1/2cm in width which means some names has to be hypened in order to be legal width another messup by the FIE. The card at Richmond was for height of the letters
