🩸 The back patch – the statement

The back patch is the centerpiece of your vest. It immediately catches the eye and defines the entire look.

Typical variants

• Large band logo or artwork
• Signage with a clear message
• Combination of main patch + backprint

Tip:

⚡ Chest & Front – Structure instead of chance

The front offers space for many small statements – Band logos, symbols, or scene patches.

Proven rankings

• Upper chest: small band or logo patches
• Side view: Symbols, numbers or icons
• Symmetrical or deliberately unequal – both work.

Important:
Plan enough time between the patches, so that the material can work.

🧵 Sleeves, sides & details – less is more

Details make a robe exciting – but only, when they are deliberately placed.

Suitable for details

• Narrow lettering
• Small logos
• Tour or year figures

If you are unsure, leave an area blank. You can always expand later.

🪡 Sew, glue or press?

The fastening method determines whether how long your patches last.

• Sewing: durable, flexible, industry standard
• Gluing: not recommended
• Iron-on: only as additional fixing

Sewing is the best solution, especially for denim jackets. Leather requires a little more patience – but it lasts forever.
