Identity Patches: N.E.E.T.

An embroidered patch featuring the acronym NEET, which is a larping/activist movement originating from Otakus in Japan who liked tactical gear. In order to appear nonmenacing to the relatively non-militarized Japanese culture, they adopted wearing cat ears, stickers, and colorful pins. The acronym stands for Not-Employed Embattlement Team, which I am pretty sure in Japanese is these characters: 自宅警備隊. While a weird structure for a name in English, it is basically "Unemployed Battle/Combat Group". Mostly cosplay and stuff, having become kind of a subculture, a lot of the groups actually do volunteer work around their communities and are essentially a parody version of a "home guard". For us Americans, it's like if the people formed a cosplay-centered National Guard armed with airsoft and went around volunteering and helping out. A dream. Spice up your outfit by adding an eye-catching embroidered patch to your ensemble! Our stylish, durable, and heat-resistant patches are perfect for airsofters, mil-sim enthusiasts, paintballers, security, and police who are trying to add a bit of flare or humor to their kits, or are looking for a unique way to express their individualism on the field. Not into airsoft, paintball, or LARPing? These creative patches can serve as aesthetic additions to bags, jackets, pants, or any other accessory you can think of!
