Why choose back patches?
A back patch is an embroidered patch at jacket scale: the same raised stitched texture and rich thread colour as our standard patches, from 300mm to 450mm across, made to fill the back of a jacket, gilet or kit bag.
What are back patches used for?
Motorcycle and scooter clubs, biker jackets and cut-offs, band and tour merchandise, fashion brands, denim and workwear, team kit bags, and any design that needs to be seen from across the room.

Back patch FAQs
Which size do I need?
The size is the longest side of the patch. A 300mm patch fills the back of most jackets between the shoulder blades; 400mm and 450mm suit full-back designs on larger jackets and gilets. Send us the garment size and we will advise on your proof.
Sew-on or iron-on for a back patch?
Sew-on is the most durable and the right choice for leather, denim and anything that gets heavy wear. Iron-on works on cotton and polycotton with a proper press. Hook and loop and stick-on are available for patches that need to come off again.
Can you match my exact colours?
Yes. We pick the closest colours from our thread chart to your brand colours, and your free proof shows the exact threads before production.
