Embroidered Biker Patches Blog

Some biker patches are like power tools: you never know whether they make appropriate gifts. But take a chance. If you would consider the love of your life a classy bitch, this is the perfect biker patch to express your feelings. Just be absolutely sure before you give it. And buy a backup gift, just in case.



The Classy Bitch patch has almost a retro look to it. Its oval shape sort of reminds you of a famous car company's logo, doesn't it? The lettering looks like something out of the late 1940s or early 50s – almost an Art Deco font updated for modern tastes.



As for the design, it is perfect. The script font makes the lettering look like it was written by someone rather than embroidered by a machine. White lettering on a black background is always easy to see, and the fact that this particular patch measures 3.5 x 1.5 inches makes it the perfect size.



If you're bold enough to wear this patch yourself, you need no explanation. You are what you are, and you are proud of it. If people need to ask why you're wearing this biker patch, they probably don't know you very well. Those who do will just nod, smile, and acknowledge.



Despite being on the smaller size, we still recommend against applying this biker patch with a hot iron. You are always better sewing patches on with needle and thread. Sewing them on guarantees they stay in place for as long as you want them to. And if you go around the entire border with a tight stitch, you prevent a patch's edges from curling up.



If you like this one, take a look at the rest of our inventory. We have tons of biker patches to fit every personality and mood.

What are biker patches if not tools that bikers can use to express their thoughts without having to utter a word. Biker patches can be funny, crude, or sobering. They can speak the truth or crack a joke. The possibilities are endless.



What can we say about theSpoiled patch that it doesn't say itself? It measures 3.5 x 1.5 inches and boasts bright pink lettering against a black background. And unlike similar patches designed as perfect rectangles, the border of this patch stays true to the lettering. It is pretty unique as far as biker patches go.



Although anyone could buy this patch, the fact that it's pink indicates its intended audience is very specific. We'll let you determine who that audience is. At any rate, you can buy it for yourself or give it as a gift to that special biker or passenger in your life. It says the same thing either way.



It is ironic that telling people you are spoiled is really self-fulfilling. You wouldn't tell people that unless you really were. At least that's our opinion. And even if you didn't know you were spoiled, liking this patch well enough to sew it to your leathers pretty much clears up any questions.



As for sewing it to your jacket or vest, we recommend either black or pink thread. Black thread along the outside edge should disappear nicely. With a good sewing job, you'll never see it. Go with pink and the thread will add an extra bit of accent all the way around. That would look pretty cool.



One way or the other, the Spoiled patch belongs in your possession if it matches your personality. Take advantage of who you are and ask your favorite biker to buy it for you. After all, you deserve it.

We all make bad decisions, right? Like that time you climbed up the flag pole at the major tourist destination. Later on, after you were charged with trespassing, you made the excuse that you only did it because your friend told you to. Ah… memories. Those were good times, weren't they?



Let's face it, bad decisions are part of life. Some of them are so bad that they haunt us for the rest of our lives. But others, not so much. They are bad at the time, but they also make for great stories we can look back on and laugh at. That being the case, we have a funny biker patch commemorating every bad decision you've ever made.



The Bad Decisions Make Good Stories funny iron-on patch tells it like it is. It's part admission that you've done some dumb things in your life and part admission that you know how to laugh at yourself. Truth be told, this is one biker patch all of us could display proudly and always be telling the truth. You'd be lying if you said that you never made bad decisions, or that none of your bad decisions ended up in funny stories.



As always, we recommend using needle and thread no matter where you decide to display this patch. Whether you choose the breast pocket of your denim vest, your favorite pair of jeans, a casual shirt, or your leather jacket, needle and thread is the best way to keep it secure for as long as you own that article of clothing.



If you are going with leather, we recommend using the smallest diameter needle capable of penetrating the leather without bending. Smaller diameter needles are easier to work with when you're sewing on biker patches.

If there is one group of people that doesn't seek the approval of others, it's bikers. Since its inception, the biker culture has been 100% about independence and freedom. Bikers do what they want when they want to do it. It's only fitting that they should appreciate this small biker patch that says, "I am who I am, your approval is not needed."



There are succinct messages, and then there are those that go beyond succinct. This one is probably in the latter category. Why? Because it doesn't just state the fact that you are who you are. It says so with a bit of ‘in your face' attitude. That's perfect for bikers.



As a biker yourself, you don't need anyone's approval to live the life you want to live. You owe no one an apology for loving the freedom of the road on the back of your bike. If the entire world gave up internal combustion engines to return to horses and buggies, and left you alone with your bike, it wouldn’t matter.



We feel like this particular biker patch could be the universal biker patch sold with every new bike purchased in the USA. Imagine that. Buy a new Harley or Indian and get a ‘I Am Who I Am Your Approval Is Not Needed’ iron-on morale patch for the vest or jacket.



Speaking of vests or jackets, plan to use needle and thread to attach this biker patch. Always remember that hot irons are dangerous to leather. Needles, not so much. Not only that but sewing the patch all the way around its perimeter will keep the edges flat. You won't get any curl ups is long as you sew over the edge of the patch.

Harley-Davidsons, leathers, and biker patches don't belong only to clubs like the Hell's Angels and Satan's Slaves. Not all bikers are atheistic or religiously agnostic, either. Some are very religious, including a large number of bikers who consider themselves Christians. In fact, Christian biker clubs are pretty popular in this country.



We suspect the Three Crosses Christian patch is probably the type of patch more religious bikers would prefer. It is a pretty cool patch despite a very basic design. It features three crosses, perched on a hillside, against a jet-black background. If you're not sure why three crosses are represented, it goes back to the description of Jesus' crucifixion in the Christian Bible.



According to the Gospels, Jesus was crucified with two thieves – one on either side of him. The Three Crosses Christian patch reflects this account. The center cross is a representation of Jesus while the smaller crosses on either side refer to the two thieves.



Christian bikers probably don't need an explanation for this patch. The story is pretty commonly known. For nonbelievers though, it is a different story. So much so that the patch is a great conversation starter among Christian bikers who do their best to spread the message as they ride.



Unlike most of the rest of our small biker patches, this one is closer to a square than a rectangle. It measures 2.25 x 2 5 inches. It would fit well on the shoulder of a jacket or vest. On the sleeve, just below the shoulder, would be another ideal spot. It might even work well next to a back patch with a similar Christian theme. At any rate, buying one means getting a high-quality patch that should continue to look good for years to come. Just make sure you sew it in place.

Ask the average guy on the street to describe the typical biker and you are likely to hear about a big, burly man with a long beard, plenty of tattoos, and a few extra pounds. What you're not likely to here is the description of a woman. For whatever reasons, we don't tend to think of bikers and women in the same realm.



Well, we have a small biker patch that addresses this very dichotomy. It is a 4 x 1.5-inch patch displaying its message loudly and clearly with white block lettering on a back background. It states: Never Underestimate the Power of a Woman That Can Ride a Motorcycle. Is any further explanation required?



Anyone capable of handling a top-of-the-line Harley is tough as nails, regardless of sex. So why would anyone underestimate a female biker? If she hasthe goods, she hasthe goods. She can open up that throttle and ride with the best of them. For a lot of biker guys, that's even a turn-on. If they can't date a biker, they won't date anyone at all.



So what about this patch? Where do you mount it? Your first choice might be a vest or jacket. You can sew it to leather, denim, or any other material that floats your boat. Sew it to the front of your jacket, above the right or left breast. Or put it on the back, just underneath your back patch.



If that doesn't work for you, try the back pocket of a pair of jeans. Sew it to a work shirt, a baseball cap, or even your leather saddlebags. There is no right or wrong location. The key is to find a location that everyone is going to see.

Nothing quite beats the sound of a Harley with a purring engine and loud pipes. In fact, the louder the pipes, the better for bikers. As this biker patch says, "loud pipes save lives." It is one of the fundamental truths of riding a motorcycle in traffic.



It's true that loud pipes annoy some people. But hey, you can't make everyone happy. Loud pipes are like gold to bikers because the noise they generate makes it easier for other motorists to know they are around. And given how difficult it can be to see a motorcycle in traffic, anything a biker can do to make themself known is a good idea. Thus, the loud pipes.



So, do you own a bike? And if you do, how loud are your pipes? Whether they are as loud as you want them or not, let the world know how you feel about loud pipes by affixing this patch to your jacket or vest. It measures just 4 x 1.75 inches so it will fit just about anywhere you have an open piece of fabric. The white-on-black color scheme offers the kind of contrast you need to guarantee other people will see it.



The Loud Pipes Save Lives biker patch features 100% Rayon thread, a twill fabric base, and a durable plastic backing. Although the backing also has a heat-activated glue, we recommend against trying to glue the patch to leather. The glue and hot iron can potentially damage leather, so you're better off sewing the patch in place instead. Use the thinnest gauge needle you can – it will make sewing easier.



Loud pipes really do save lives. By making a lot of noise, you make other drivers around you aware. Remember that next time someone complains about how loud your bike is.

Every now and again we run across a biker patch possessing a deeper meaning few people understand. The In Memoriam Folded Flag patch is one of them. On the surface, it looks like little more than a biker patch designed to mimic a folded American flag. But to those who understand the symbolism behind how we fold our flag, it means so much more.



The phrase ‘in memoriam’ means ‘in memory of’. It is almost always used in relation to epitaphs. That's why you see it so often engraved on tombstones. So how does it apply to this biker patch?



The coffins of fallen soldiers are draped with American flags during transport from funeral home to grave site. Just prior to burial, the flag is removed and folded. It is then given to the fallen soldier's family as a tribute to that soldier's life and service.



What you might not know is that each of the thirteen folds that go into the proper folding of the American flag mean something. Without getting into all the details here, the third fold represents honor and remembrance of the fallen soldier. It honors soldiers regardless of how they died – whether during active combat or otherwise – because all have given at least a portion of their lives to military service.



To the family members of a fallen soldier, the folded flag represents honor and respect. It represents the genuine appreciation of the entire military family for that soldier's service.



As a biker, you may feel an obligation to show your own honor and respect to our military. Fortunately, biker patch manufacturers make all sorts of patches that do a fantastic job of conveying that message. The In Memoriam Folded Flag patch is just one of them. Feel free to buy one and wear it with pride.

Freedom is an important commodity none of us should take for granted. It is also not free. A people must always fight for its freedom for the simple fact that tyranny waits just around the corner. Throughout the years, the men and women who have served in the U.S. military have known this truth all too well.



Many of them have fallen in the line of duty. They have made the ultimate sacrifice. The Freedom Ain't Free – In Memory of Our Fallen iron on patch is dedicated to them. Wearing it is a way to honor them – and our memories of them – in a public way. We encourage you to buy this biker patch and proudly display it on your leathers or denim jacket.



At center are the silhouettes of a soldier's boot, rifle, and helmet. Though reminiscent of WWI, the imagery easily applies to any period of active combat duty our soldiers have faced. Their love of America and its flag is displayed on the patch via a stars and stripes background. Around the perimeter of the patch is white lettering reminding us to remember those who have fallen and ever be vigilant about the fact that freedom isn't free.



Most of our other smaller patches are rectangular in shape. This one being circular, it's bound to stand out on your jacket or vest. For extra effect, affix it to the left breast where it will be closest to your heart. You will be reminded of the fallen soldier's sacrifice every time you look down and see it.



The Freedom Ain't Free – In Memory of Our Fallen iron-on patch is a high-quality piece that deserves a place alongside all the rest of your biker patches.

Here at The Cheap Place, we offer a wide variety of biker patches designed to honor veterans. This particular patch, the I Am A Veteran My Oath Of Enlistment Has No Expiration Date patch goes above and beyond to explain what many a U.S. veteran thinks about military service. It is one thing to take an oath at the start of enlistment. It's another thing entirely to hold on to that oath even after being honorably discharged.



The message is pretty clear here. It states that the veteran’s oath of enlistment never expires. Even though a soldier is honorably discharged, they still feel a commitment to defend the United States against all enemies both foreign and domestic. That says something about a soldier’s integrity.



Whether you are a veteran or the family member of one, this biker patch is ideal as a way of showing honor to those who serve this nation in the military. It is a smaller patch at just 4 x 2 inches, so it's just the right size to attach to your biker jacket or vest, over the left or right breast. You can sew it to a denim jacket, a work shirt, a baseball cap, or anywhere you have a bit of open fabric.



A black background highlights white text in block letters along with a red, yellow, and black ribbon. Despite its small size, the design makes the message on this patch easy to see and read. There won't be any confusion about what it says.



Our hats are off to all the brave men and women who have defended the United States over the years. They take their oaths seriously, as this patch so clearly demonstrates.
