Embroidered Biker Patches Blog

The wolf has long been a symbol of strength and power. Though wolves are pack animals, they aren't afraid to break away from the pack to stand on their own. You might have something in common with the mighty wolf if you prefer the lone wolf biker lifestyle. And if so, we have the perfect back patch for your jacket or vest.



The Brown Wolf embroidered iron-on patch says it all. Those piercing eyes and a slight wolfish grin tell everybody you know what's going on. You will not be fooled, and you won't be pushed around. You are confident in who you are, whether you're on your bike or not. You are even a man or woman of mystery – like the wolf in the forest that travels alone. You do your thing, and no one need ask any questions.



We absolutely love this patch and its intricate embroidery. Though largely a monochrome piece, different colors of thread appropriately placed create some of the most intricate shading we have seen in embroidered biker patches. The artist has done such a masterful job here that you can almost reach out and touch that wolf as though it were real. For our money, that's the sign of a really good biker patch.



At 8 x 12 inches, the Brown Wolf embroidered iron-on patch is on the smaller side for a back patch, but that's only because of the width of the wolf's head. You still get a full foot of height, giving you plenty of material to fill in the back of your jacket or vest nicely. Whatever you do, be sure to attach the patch with needle and thread. You want to make sure your wolf doesn't go anywhere while you're screaming down the road at top speed.

Sometimes the best biker patches are the simple ones. The Brown Eagle large embroidered iron-on patch is one such piece. It doesn't require a whole lot of color or intricate shading to make its point. The image is powerful enough to speak on its own – despite a monochrome color scheme.



So what do you get with this large biker patch? The image of the majestic eagle descending as though it is just about ready to catch its prey. You can see the talons extended while the wings are pointed nearly straight up to catch the wind. If you were a mouse or another tasty critter, this is not a sight you would be happy to see.



The way this patch is shaped makes its ideal position on the back of a jacket or vest with the head placed just below the shoulder blades. That gives the wings plenty of room to stretch upward toward the shoulders. Against blue denim, the dark brown embroidery stands out nicely. Against blue or black leather, you get an entirely different look.



Velvet fabric and 100% rayon thread make for a beautiful patch that is also soft and flexible. The patch features a clean-cut embroidered border for easy sewing all the way around. Last but not least is a plastic backing that gives the patch just enough rigidity to prevent curling or sagging.



Measuring 12 x 12 inches, the Brown Eagle large, embroidered iron-on patch is definitely a back patch. So break out your needle and thread, affix this one to the back of a jacket or vest, and wear it proudly whenever you're out on your bike. This patch is definitely one that will get noticed. Whether or not that is a good thing is up to you.

You're not afraid of dogs, are you? Because if you are, the Pit Bull Spike Collar large iron on patch probably isn't for you. Sew this to the back of your vest and you'll scare yourself every time you get ready to walk out the door. On the other hand, this is a fantastic biker patch if you are big fan of pit bulls and leather.



It's hard to look at this patch and not be intimidated. At 10 x 9.6 inches, it could almost look life size under the right conditions. It is the stuff of postal worker and newspaper carrier nightmares. But hey, it's just a biker patch. Right?



The Pit Bull Spike Collar patch is a full color patch – as opposed to the gray version – featuring a brown pit bull with glaring yellow eyes and white, razor-sharp teeth. The entire piece is bordered in black, giving you a nice field to hide black thread. The embroidery here is outstanding enough to account for subtle shading that gives the dog's face real depth.



We recommend this one to any non-affiliated biker who happens to also be a dog lover. Pick up a couple extra for your friends and you can start your own pit bull club. You could do a lot worse for a mascot, that's for sure.



At any rate, just make sure you mount this patch to your jacket or vest securely. It is a full-sized back patch that needs to be sewn in place. If you've already got a back patch, no worries. This is still a great biker patch you can affix to your saddlebags, the back of your seat, or anywhere else you have a piece of open fabric. Your new pet pit bull will look good just about anywhere.

veterans as well, so it is no surprise that they go out of their way to honor prisoners of war (POW) along with the missing in action (MIA), wounded in action (WIA), and killed in action (KIA).



With that in mind, we are proud to offer the Fallen Heroes POW MIA WIA KIA Memorial large iron-on patch. As far as embroidered biker patches go, this piece offers everything you would expect. High quality, 100% rayon thread, precision embroidery work, and a tough plastic backing make it more than able to offer many years of reliable service.



The biker culture began in earnest and the late 1960s and early seventies as veterans returning from Vietnam struggled to find acceptance in society. They started biker clubs as a way of maintaining those close relationships they built while in combat. All the while, they never forgot their fallen and missing brothers. Today, honoring those soldiers is still part of the biker lifestyle.



If you are a biker and a veteran, this patch might mean something special to you. But even if you are not a veteran, you can still honor those who sacrificed tremendously by displaying this biker patch on your jacket or vest. At 12 x 12 inches, it is plenty big enough for people to see and recognize as you are riding down the road.



As always, we recommend attaching the patch with needle and thread. Also bear in mind that if you use black thread and stitch in the black field, the edges may curl up over time. You're better off getting some yellow thread and stitching right on the edge. Either way, it will look good on your back.

Have you ever had a nightmare in which you were being hunted by a bird of prey? A dream that ends with these giant claws reaching down to pluck you up and take you away? If so, we would recommend against the Big Claws Eagle large embroidered patriotic iron-on patch. No need to cause unnecessary anxiety. For the rest of us though, what a fantastic patch for the back of a jacket or vest.



Here, the outstretched claws get all the attention. You can still see the angry bird's face, but those claws steal the show. They sort of make you wonder what it's like to be a rabbit or mouse. Most of us wouldn't want to be in the wrong end of that mess.



At any rate, the Big Claws Eagle patch has everything you would expect from a patriotic biker patch. It has the eagle. It has the stars and stripes. What it doesn't have is a home. That home is your jacket or vest. Imagine it against the backdrop of black or brown leather. Imagine it attached to a washed-out denim jacket.



Do not let the name we gave this patch fool you. Although it does have an iron-on backing, we always recommend sewing back patches in place. They are far too large and heavy to trust to ironing. Not only that, but leather also doesn’t play well with hot irons. You are better off breaking out the needle and thread. And if you don't know how to sew, buying this patch gives you a reason to learn.



This patch is all about the claws, baby. It represents that side of the eagle that we don't get the see all that often. Give it a try. We think you're going to love it.

Our collection of biker patches contains some pretty colorful and ornate pieces. But we also have some simpler pieces as well. The Gray Pitbull patch is one of them.

Instead, you will find an intense simplicity that might actually be intimidating.



Who isn't unnerved by an angry pitbull baring its teeth? If you're not, it's best to keep that to yourself. Your lack of fear could someday prove advantageous in a sticky situation. But that's another topic for another time. For now, we want to focus on what this patch would look like sewn to your biker vest or jacket.



The Gray Pitbull patch is more or less a monochrome piece. It is embroidered with one 100% rayon thread for a high quality, professional look, and subtle tones of gray give the image depth and feel. As for the black border, it emphasizes the pitbull’s image and provides a field to hide black thread. We obviously recommend black thread for sewing this patch on.



As always, needle and thread are the way to go. At 10 x 9.5 inches, the size and weight of this patch are such that you wouldn't want to take your chances trying to iron it on. Also remember that hot irons can damage leather. It is just not worth the risk. Be safe and trust your inner seamstress.



If the back of your biker vest or jacket is still bare, it's time to change things. Give some thought to the Gray Pitbull patch.

Every now and again we find a patch that is too difficult to describe with words. You just have to see it. Enter the Wicked Skull Snakes Feathers large back patch. We can tell you all about the skull and snakes. We can talk about how much color there is in the embroidery. But mere words cannot do this patch justice.



Its image combines the skull included on so many biker patches with a full headdress of feathers, snakes coming out of each of the eye sockets, and a tongue sticking out the skull's mouth. It would be a perfect logo for a heavy metal band if the image weren't on the back of a biker patch.



Getting back to the colors, they are incredible. You don't need a degree in spectrography to know that all the colors in the visible spectrum are all there. It is what makes this patch so unique. Generally, you don't see so much visual complexity in an embroidered patch.



For us, the real selling point here are the two snakes and the protruding tongue. They really do remind us of a heavy metal rocker from the good old days of rock 'n roll.

Biker patches tend to feature things like American flags, bald eagles, and the occasional skull and crossbones. What you do not see very often is the mysterious ram skull. But that's the main feature of the Ram with Pistons large back patch. This 12x 9.9-inch embroidered patch is one of a kind. It would make a fantastic patch for the back of your vest or jacket.



Over the centuries, the ram skull has meant different things to different people. Ancient civilizations worshiped the ram as a deity and their skulls were kept around as religious relics. Today, the ram skull has been adopted by numerous occult groups as a religious symbol that hearkens back to the days of ancient Babylon and Assyria.



If you are not into the occult or ancient religions, the ram is also the zodiacal sign for Aries. It denotes confidence, enthusiasm, passion, and optimism. Some people view the ram as a symbol of strength. There are bikers who prefer the ram skull because of its association with an antisocial attitude.



Regardless of what the symbol might mean to you, the Ram with Pistons patch features the trademark pistons and flames that make it clear this patch is for bikers. Its design simplicity doesn't over complicate matters by giving the eye too much to look at. At the same time, it makes a powerful statement that demands attention.

Whatever you do, don't attempt to iron a back patch to leather. Otherwise, you risk irreparable damage.
