This edition of ClothTalk, strays from the local and goes international.\u00c2\u00a0 While my collecting centers around New York State, It is always interesting to hear about other areas of collecting from those who know about them.

\nMatt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s back! Ben, Matt and Tim learn about collecting \u00e2\u20ac\u0153badges\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in the UK and around the world. At the Big Pre-NOAC Trade-o-ree, we had a moment to sit down with Mike Gosseling (also known as \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcThe Transatlantic Trader\u00e2\u20ac\u2122). Learn about woven badges verses the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Swiss Loom\u00e2\u20ac\u009d patches we see most often in America. We also talk to Mike about how he and his fellow British Scouts are preparing to host the 2007 World Jamboree! Be sure to check out the International Badgers Club (www.intbc.org<\/a>) for more information on patch trading and patch collecting across the globe.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
