FAQs
Is this an iron-on patch?
No, this is a sew-on patch and does not contain adhesive backing.
What are the exact dimensions?
The patch is 36cm tall, 30cm wide at the top, and 27cm wide at the bottom.
Can this be machine washed?
Yes, but it is recommended to wash the jacket inside out in cold water on a delicate cycle to protect the patch print.
Will this fit on a leather jacket?
Yes, it can be sewn onto leather, though you will need a specialized leather needle and potentially a leather punch for pre-drilling holes.
Does it come with thread?
No, thread and sewing supplies are not included with the patch.
Troubleshooting
Patch edges are curling after attachment
The patch may not have enough anchor points; add additional stitches spaced 1-2cm apart along the entire perimeter.
Difficulty pushing the needle through the overlocked edge
Use a heavy-duty sewing needle (denim or leather grade) and a thimble to assist with the extra thickness of the border.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply this patch, place it centered on the back panel of your jacket. Secure it initially using dressmaker pins to ensure alignment. It is recommended to use a heavy-duty polyester thread in a color that matches the patch border. Sew using a whip stitch or ladder stitch along the overlocked edge to ensure the patch remains flat. Compatibility is best with denim, canvas, or thick leather. For care, wash the garment inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the print quality, and avoid harsh bleaching agents that could degrade the fabric colors.
