FAQs
What are the dimensions of the pin?
The badge measures approximately 35mm by 25mm.
Is this an official product?
Yes, this is an officially licensed Grateful Dead merchandise item.
Can I wash the garment that the pin is attached to?
We strongly recommend removing the pin before washing any clothing or bags to prevent damage to the pin or the fabric.
What is the material made of?
The badge is constructed from durable zinc.
Will the black finish fade?
With proper care and by avoiding exposure to abrasive surfaces or harsh chemicals, the finish is designed to remain durable over time.
Troubleshooting
The pin keeps rotating on the fabric
Ensure the butterfly clutch is pushed all the way to the base of the pin, and consider using a small piece of backing material or a thicker layer of fabric to provide more tension.
The butterfly clutch feels loose
You can gently squeeze the two sides of the butterfly clutch wings together with pliers to tighten the internal tension, though this should be done with caution to avoid breaking the mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the badge, simply remove the butterfly clutch, push the pin through your chosen material, and press the clutch back onto the post until you feel a click. For maximum security, ensure the clutch is pushed flush against the fabric.
Compatibility: The pin works best on medium-to-heavy weight fabrics such as denim, leather, cotton canvas, or polyester blends. It is not recommended for thin silk, sheer fabrics, or lightweight knits, as the pin can create visible holes or cause the fabric to sag under the weight of the zinc.
Care Instructions: To maintain the finish, keep the badge dry. If the surface accumulates dust or oils, wipe it down gently with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may strip the black finish or damage the printed graphic.
