Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this an iron-on patch?

No, this is a sew-on patch. It does not contain heat-activated adhesive.

Will the print fade in the wash?

The patch uses high-quality printing, but it is recommended to wash the garment inside out in cold water to extend the life of the graphic.

What are the exact dimensions?

The patch is approximately 36cm in height, 29cm at the top, and 27cm at the bottom.

Can I attach this to a leather jacket?

While possible, sewing through leather requires a specialized leather needle and pliers to pull the needle through the tough material.

Is this a genuine Metallica product?

Yes, this is an officially licensed Metallica product.

Troubleshooting

The edges of the patch are curling after washing.

Ensure that your stitching is spaced no more than 1cm apart along the entire perimeter to keep the fabric taut.

Needle is difficult to push through the overlocked edge.

Use a heavy-duty denim needle or a thimble to assist in pushing the needle through the reinforced border area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic band merchandise with high-quality graphics
  • Reinforced overlocked edges for added durability
  • Generous sizing perfect for back-of-jacket display
  • Resistant to fraying during daily use

Cons

  • Requires sewing; does not feature an iron-on adhesive backing
  • Large size may be too big for smaller denim vests
  • Limited to one specific design style

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To apply the patch, pin it securely to your garment while the jacket is laid flat. Use a needle and thread to perform a whip stitch or ladder stitch along the overlocked edge.

  • Compatibility: Best suited for denim, thick cotton canvas, or leather (though leather may require professional tools).
  • Care Instructions: Machine wash inside out on a cold, gentle cycle to protect the print. Do not tumble dry on high heat, as this may cause the fabric of the patch to shrink or the print to crack over time. Always hang-dry your garment to maintain the patch's structural integrity.
