FAQ
What types of Marine Corps patches are available for uniform use versus casual or display wear?
The collection covers both official uniform-grade patches and casual display options. Uniform-appropriate styles include Eagle Globe and Anchor insignia, branch tapes, and rank-relevant patches in full color or subdued finishes. For jackets, bags, or display purposes, you will also find large back patches, morale patches in cloth and PVC material, unit patches, and veteran or retired designations.
What is the Eagle Globe and Anchor patch and what does it represent?
The Eagle Globe and Anchor, commonly called the EGA, is the official emblem of the United States Marine Corps. The eagle represents the nation, the globe represents worldwide service, and the anchor reflects the Corps' close relationship with the Navy. It appears on a wide range of patches in this collection, from small embroidered emblems to larger logo patches in multiple color combinations.
Can Marine Corps patches be sewn onto jackets, bags, or hats purchased separately?
Yes, and Army Surplus World makes it easy to do so. The Houston store has on-site sewing machines and a professional seamstress who can attach any patch to a jacket, shirt, bag, or cap of your choosing. If you prefer to apply patches yourself, most are embroidered on cloth backgrounds that can be sewn on at home, and some can be ordered with hook-and-loop backing for removable attachment.
Are the Marine Corps patches at Army Surplus World the same ones sold in Marine Corps Base Exchanges?
Many of the full-color embroidered patches in the collection are the same patches supplied to the Marine Corps and sold in official Marine Corps Base Exchanges. These include EGA patches, veteran and retired designs, and unit emblems, making them accurate representations of genuine USMC insignia rather than generic imitations.
Do Marine Corps morale patches serve an official purpose, or are they purely decorative?
Morale patches are generally unofficial and worn on gear, flight suits, range bags, or civilian clothing rather than on regulation service uniforms. They often feature Marine Corps mottos, the iconic Bulldog or Devil Dog imagery, or unit humor. They are popular among active Marines, veterans, and collectors who want to show pride or unit identity in a more casual setting.
