Adult Eye Patch, Navy Seal Style

This product is designed to have a look and style reminiscent of the patch Congressman Dan Crenshaw wears, although it is not an exact replica. The decision to create this product was need-based, as the creator was tired of buying patches that failed to meet their utilitarian requirements. Additionally, the creator wanted something that looked less costume-like and would mitigate the probability of children exclaiming, "Look mom! A pirate!" when approached.

It is important to note that this patch is not intended to block light. Instead, it was designed for maximum airflow, ensuring that it does not create a seal on the skin. The finished product takes approximately two hours to complete and is constructed to fit below the eyebrow and within the eye orbit, flowing with the face's natural curves and symmetry, providing a more natural and aesthetic look.

The creator chose Kydex for the body of the patch rather than leather because, in their experience with other products, the leather absorbed moisture from the face, causing the patch to lose its shape. Additionally, the design was made concave because the creator was frustrated that their eyelid and eyelashes were hitting the inside of many styles they had tried.

The straps are die-cut from top-grain leather, then burnished and treated. They extend onto the inner side of the patch to provide a cushion between the skin and the hard Kydex. The user can adjust the patch by holding the loop of the short strap, pulling on the long end, and cinching it to a comfortable position. Initially, the straps will feel like they're loosening slightly, but this is a natural process of the leather breaking in, and it will likely take a few adjustments in the beginning while this process plays out.

Kydex is a durable material that keeps its shape, and the patch is adjustable up to 26 inches. It also features vents for humidity reduction and can be worn with most eyeglasses. The concave design (curves outward) of the patch is intended to provide a more natural and aesthetic look.
