FAQs
How many patches are included in a pack?
Each pack contains two (2) navy blue corduroy patches.
What are the dimensions of each patch?
Each patch measures approximately 10cm by 14cm.
Can I use these patches on jeans?
These patches are best suited for corduroy and light cotton fabrics. While they might adhere to some denim with the iron-on method, sewing them on is recommended for a secure and durable finish, especially on thicker materials like jeans.
Are these patches suitable for children's clothing?
Yes, they are suitable for children's clothing, especially for reinforcing elbows on jackets and shirts. Ensure the application method is secure and comfortable for the child.
Can I cut the patches to a different size?
While you can cut the patches, it will remove the pre-punched holes along the edges. If you choose to resize, you will need to create new holes for sewing or rely solely on the iron-on method.
What is the best way to ensure the patch stays on long-term?
For the most durable application, especially on items that will be washed frequently or experience heavy wear, we recommend using the sew-on method or a combination of iron-on followed by stitching around the edges.
Troubleshooting
Patch is not adhering well with iron-on method.
Ensure the fabric is clean and dry. Use a higher heat setting suitable for the base fabric (check garment care label). Press for a longer duration (up to 15-20 seconds). Consider reinforcing with stitches for added security.
Thread is breaking during sew-on application.
Use a strong sewing needle appropriate for the fabric thickness. Ensure the thread is not tangled and is of good quality. If sewing through thicker fabric, consider using a thimble for extra pressure.
Color is fading after washing.
Wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents. Air dry the garment instead of using a machine dryer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These patches are recommended for use on corduroy and light cotton fabrics. They may not adhere well or be suitable for synthetic materials, denim, wool, or very delicate fabrics.
Application Methods:
- Sew-On: Position the patch where desired. Use a needle and thread to stitch through the pre-punched holes, securing the patch firmly to the garment.
- Iron-On: Place the patch onto the fabric with the adhesive side down. Cover with a pressing cloth (like a piece of cotton fabric). Apply a hot iron (refer to garment care label for appropriate heat setting, typically 2-3 dots) and press firmly for approximately 10-15 seconds. Avoid using the steam function. For best results, reinforce with a few stitches after ironing.
Care: After application, wash the garment according to its care instructions. It is recommended to wash items with applied patches on a gentle cycle and air dry to prolong the life of the patch and adhesion. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat drying.
