The Travel State-Patch Jacket~R.A.Barrington

This is my travel jacket. I started collecting states, all of the states in the United States, when I was 12. I collect them by road trip only. I want to see what America is, every bit of it, in context, a ribbon of travel. I started collecting embroidered state patches on this jacket about 5 years ago. I have a bunch but I am missing some of my "collected" states. Most souvenir shops have shot glasses and spoons and other things but I am only interested in the patches. If you have a patch of any of the states listed below I would gladly purchase it/them.

Or if anyone knows the names of this gas station/souvenir store on I-90 in South Dakota just east of The Corn Palace city, please tell me the name and address of it. I bought some patches there and the man had the other states too. I would love to be able to contact him.

This store.

I just finished collecting the continental U.S., and I do have Hawaii.

Here are the state patches I need: California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Michigan, Rhode Island, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Connecticut, Delaware, also if there is a Mexico patch or a Bahamas patch I could use those too.

Thanks for your help!

UPDATE:Thank you to all. I have attained 6 more patches! I still need those listed above. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. P.S. I took all of the patches and sewed them to a new Levi jacket...very snazzy, and comments galore!

I now have ALL of my state patches! TY!!!!!!
