{"product_id":"saddleback-mountain-embroidered-sew-on-patch","title":"Saddleback Patch (Saddle \u0026 Peak) — modern","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Saddleback patch cut to the outline of its own artwork — a brown western saddle slung across a white mountain, SADDLEBACK in white on a black band beneath it. The name taken completely literally, in a state with no horses on the hill. The embroidery is dense and modern, raised and crisp at every edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mountain is named for the dip between its two summits — a saddle, in the topographic sense, which is a perfectly ordinary word for a perfectly ordinary landform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSomebody then took that absolutely literally and put an actual tooled western saddle on the patch, in Maine, where the nearest horse is a long way from the lift line. It is wrong in a way that is far more memorable than getting it right would have been.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe topographic saddle is clearly visible from the lake, which is presumably how the name arrived in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEmbroidered, die-cut to shape. Modern production. Photos are the condition report.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ropetow Vintage Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55537898848561,"sku":"RV-ME-088","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/2048\/7473\/files\/ropetow-vintage-co-saddleback-mountain-patch_a9bc766a-597b-4b4a-8d80-e7d232d0d921.jpg?v=1785622240","url":"https:\/\/ropetowvintage.com\/products\/saddleback-mountain-embroidered-sew-on-patch","provider":"Ropetow Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
