You can always buy a normal shirt and then have an IAABO patch sewn on. Your secretary can order them, and i think that the Canadian Honigs sells them.

I've gone down that road before. My secretary just says I should order patches myself from official's choice-and official's choice says they no longer sell patches. Fortunately after having this problem for quite a long time I was able to buy and stockpile some patches from PAULK1 from this board.
I have no doubt that official's choice donates to the IAABO charitable fund. I just wonder whether on not that charitable fund is the backpocket of someone high up in IAABO. IAABO doesn't seem to interested in monitoring official's "only" choice's service, nor respond to complaints from members about problems they've had.
