Seriously...
In this day of age.. Cause we all had patches back in the day( BG - Before Gortex)...

If i see more then one patch - I think total gaper... And as you add patches and pins.. the gaper meter goes higher... You got a cowboy hat with pins and you aint Billy Kidd... The gaper meter goes into the red zone...
I almost got the crap kicked out of me at the Mangy Moose for making fun on a Texan with more pins then hat... they got kicked out.. I got to stay.. Cause I wasn't wearing pins...

picky fights with texans sounds like fun. i have seen people like that.

My gaper chachki (sp?) consists of stickers on the car and roofbox from ski hills I've skied and an Eddy Bros. black cowboy hat with 1 bootshaped Jhole pin I picked up in Jhole years ago. Critics be damned, I like my hat. I have quite a few tees and ball caps from ski hills as well.

Sewing them on would make you a gaper. Use duct tape instead. Duct tape automatically makes you hard core.

Seriously, who really gives a crap? This whole "gaper" thing is getting really, really tired. It's still (theoretically) a free country. Do what makes YOU happy, where what you want. As long as you're not harming anybody, who cares? So what if someone tags you as a gaper? It's better than being a judgemental a-hole.

Real skiers and boarders are too busy tearing down the slopes to waste their time picking on people whose only crime is the fact that they're wearing Starter Jackets, jeans, or rear entry boots.

Blessed are the gapers, for they shall inherit the slopes. Embrace your gaperhood.

I thought about stickers and then was thinking that once I put them onto something they are pretty much there and that's it. The patches are removeable so I went that route. Of course I had to go and find some on the internet for those places that I went to and didn't get one and possibly might not get back to. I like the picture frame idea so I'll probably do that. I always pick up t-shirts and stuff when I go on trips both long and short sleeve they help my stoke level remain high!! I'd wear ski logo stuff all the time if I could. Although my Got Rum T-shirt I picked up in Nassau kicks ass as well.. It goes along good with my Got Oxygen t-shirt from Keystone.

the only reason i said you should frame them is because you will have them longer than if they where on a jacket.

The only patches that don't look silly, IMHO, are the ones that the old timers wear that read 70+ Club, 75+ Club, etc.. Those are just cool and those guys can wear whatever the hell they want. I hope to be skiing well into my 70's so I can have a patch too.

No No No Never sew those patches on good skiwear.I look at it this way,if you really need to show everybody where you have skied then you probably have not skied very many areas of interest.It's like the guy who brags about how tough he is or what a great skier he is.He's usually just the opposite.As posted earlier,mount them in a frame or something to hang on display at your house and not on your person.

I think I'm one of the few people on here who has skied with Phillycore and I really don't understand why he cares if he looks like a gaper because...he is a gaper..lol..
