Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the ORIGINAL patch?

It measures 3.1 x 1.1 inches (7.9 x 2.8 cm), the classic name tape size that fits sleeves, chest panels and hat fronts.

How do I apply an iron on patch?

Set your iron to the cotton setting with no steam, place the patch, cover it with a thin cloth and press firmly for 20 to 30 seconds. Flip the garment and press the back side for another 20 seconds, then let it cool.

Will it stick to a leather vest?

Heat can damage leather, so for leather vests and jackets we recommend sewing the patch on around the border instead of ironing.

Can I sew it on instead?

Yes. The stitched border makes it easy to sew by hand or machine, which is the most durable option for gear that gets heavy use.

Is it washable?

Yes. Once properly applied it survives regular machine washing. Turn the garment inside out and wash cold to keep the embroidery looking sharp longest.

Does it work on denim jackets?

Denim is the ideal surface. The adhesive bonds strongly to denim, cotton and canvas, which is why jean jackets and cuts are the most popular homes for this patch.
