ski poles seems more appropriate for the area - best of luck with this one!
The Doe was from the Dolomites, a region in Italy known for ski resorts.What are the nearest ski resorts to the Netherlands?
The closest ones are in Western Belgium around Spa and Malmedy and across the border in Germany both in Eifel and probably a bit closer from Amsterdam and bigger choice, in Rothaargebirge. Both are about 3 hours drive from Amsterdam, but are relatively small resorts, more geared toward locals.Oct 21, 2022 (Wikipedia)
apparently plenty of xc ski areas in the Netherlands....https://www.wikiloc.com/trails/cross-country-skiing/netherlands
but some one could have gone anywhere else in Europe...or abroad... and it is weird to me that the "patch" has no name- most ski patches have names because people want to keep track of where they were- so unfinished? name portion cut off? there are ski teams too- like in schools, but again, they would have a name...
okay I give up, I can't find anything even close to this patch. I also realized that it is red or maroon colored thread used in the design. That is odd, why would you use red for pine trees? I googled polo sticks and they look similar, so now I am just down the rabbit hole. I do have a desire to go to a resort and have a good meal at the Indian Pines restaurant now that I have seen all the advertisements for skiing and food.

Well that is the closest to the outer design I have seen, ( and this is a Polar Star? )View attachment 473678
There's a yoga studio with the outside / polar star matching, but they don't appear to have started using that logo until 15 some years later.
Another good find. Yes hiking poles! You guys rock. Still wondering why they used red for the color.Could they be hiking poles? Which sorta makes sense if they are surrounded by trees, representing a compass.
I was thinking they looked like walking/hiking poles as well.Could they be hiking poles? Which sorta makes sense if they are surrounded by trees, representing a compass.
kind of a modern jacket and a bit odd to put a porous type of material on a modern(?) synthetic. Is the scorch mark from a cigarette or something else? wondering if the police are tracking the dye in the thread- chemicals in dyes can be particular to certain times/places; also wondering if there is any DNA on the clothing.This is the jacket on which the logo is sewn.View attachment 473670
“In addition to the body, the container held men’s clothing, including a white jacket with a striking detail: a logo sewn in over a scorch mark.”
I agree, more likely than ski poles. A skiing motif would not feature just the poles, but IMO would include skis.Could they be hiking poles?
I agree with you. IMO, it's less likely to be a logo, than some type of badge, perhaps a small hiking club who had matching jackets embroidered.I think it's a home embroidered little patch. Definitely not something from a professional garment factory.
The stitching is very rough and uneven.
