This paper presents a fully-textile wearable antenna for pinpointing the location of firefighters in emergency scenarios. The proposed antenna is an aperture coupled microstrip antenna which mimics the coat of arms of the fire brigade of Lecce (Italy). To assess the viability of the proposed solution, a fully-textile prototype has been fabricated and characterized. Numerical and experimental results are reported and discussed
