Medal mount for a civi suit jacket

[Sythen]

I tried Googling for this, but all I found was a company in the UK. Does anyone know a store in Canada that sells a mount or something I can slip into a suit's jacket pocket so I am not poking holes in my clothes?

Ive only ever seen ribbon mounts. How would a medal mount on suit jacket work, without poking holes ?

This is the thing I saw, was looking for something similar in Canada, should've linked it in my original post.

How strong are the magnets? I imagine they'd have to be pretty strong unless it's for just a couple gongs.

Curious why you want to walk around with your medals in a pocket.

I jury-rigged my own years ago. Found a piece of plastic (actually it was a bank cheque folder) that was narrow enough to fit in a breast pocket, long enough that it reached the bottom of the pocket and stiff enough that it didn't bend. I pinned my medals bar to the top (if the material is more puncture resistant, pre-form the holes with an awl). The pocket piece isn't seen above the medals, completely fills the pocket so they don't move and the medals are easily unpinned if needed to be worn with a uniform. It ain't rocket surgery.

The clear, plastic thing goes in the pocket. The medals are displayed outside, like they would normally if you just pushed the pins through the jacket.

Cool; although I'm no sure it answers my question. Are you wanting to keep them in your pocket and only haul them out once you get to an event or venue?

I 3D printed my own (in black), scaled to fit the blazer I would normally wear. I added pins to pull the medals closer to the jacket so they don't flop around so much. I can make the STL file available to those who want it.

I don't think I understand your question. The medals will not be in the pocket, they will be outside displayed on my chest. They are held in place by the plastic piece which would be in my pocket, which saves me from poking holes in my blazer.
