Product Information
Full details
The AC/DC High Voltage back patch is designed for rock music enthusiasts and DIY clothing customizers who want to add an authentic vintage aesthetic to their denim jackets or vests. Its primary benefit is the high-quality, officially licensed print that serves as a durable statement piece for any band merchandise collection; however, users should note that as a sew-on patch, it requires manual sewing or professional tailoring to ensure a secure attachment to garments.

FAQs
Is this an iron-on patch?
No, this is a sew-on patch. It does not have an adhesive backing and must be sewn to the garment.
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the garment to protect the integrity of the print and the fabric fibers.
Will this fit on a child's jacket?
The patch is quite large (36cm tall). It is generally best suited for adult-sized jackets.
What is the best stitch style for this patch?
A tight whip stitch around the perimeter provides the most secure and professional look.
Is the fabric of the patch flexible?
Yes, it is made of durable textile that is flexible enough to conform to the shape of most denim jackets.
Troubleshooting
Patch edges are curling after washing
Ensure the stitching goes through the overlocked border entirely. If curling persists, add additional anchor stitches.
Thread snapping during sewing
Use a thicker gauge polyester thread and ensure your needle is specifically designed for denim or heavy fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the patch, center it on the back panel of your garment and secure it with fabric pins. Use a color-matched thread to stitch around the overlocked edge. For machine sewing, ensure your needle is rated for heavy materials to avoid snapping. Regarding care, the patch is designed to be as durable as the garment it is attached to. To keep the print vibrant, it is recommended to wash the garment inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the screen print over time. If the garment is leather, only spot clean the area around the patch.
