FAQs
Is this badge safe for delicate fabrics like silk?
Because the badge uses a metal pin, it can leave small holes in delicate fabrics. It is recommended for use on sturdy materials like denim, canvas, or thick cotton.
Does the gold plating chip easily?
The badge is built with durable die-cast zinc, but the gold-plated finish can be scratched by hard impacts or abrasive surfaces.
Can I wash my jacket with the badge attached?
It is highly recommended to remove the badge before laundering any garment to prevent damage to the badge, the fabric, or your washing machine.
Is this product officially licensed?
Yes, this is an officially licensed The Rolling Stones product featuring the classic tongue logo.
How large is the badge?
The badge measures 30mm in width, which is a standard size for collector's pins.
Troubleshooting
The clasp feels loose and the badge spins.
Pinch the two tabs on the butterfly clasp tighter with a small pair of pliers to restore tension, or replace the clasp with a new standard butterfly back.
The badge pin is bent.
Gently realign the pin using needle-nose pliers, taking care not to apply excessive force to the base where the pin meets the badge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the badge, simply hold the back of the butterfly clasp, push the pin through your chosen fabric, and press the clasp onto the pin shaft until it clicks. To remove, pinch the sides of the clasp tabs and pull it away from the pin. For maintenance, keep the badge dry to protect the gold-plated finish. If it becomes dusty, wipe it gently with a soft, microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or liquid metal polishes, as these may strip the gold plating from the zinc base.
