The phrase, 'I'm your Huckleberry' means different things to different people. No one is exactly sure of its origins. Some say it goes back to Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer while others think of the film Tombstone. Nonetheless, the first recorded use of the phrase dates back some 170 years.
We sell a number of biker patches capitalizing on the phrase, including the I'm Your Huckleberry Black & White iron-on novelty patch. You will notice this patch is a circular patch with crossed six shooters at dead center. No doubt this is a reference to Tombstone and the whole Wyatt Earp story.
That being the case, saying "I'm your Huckleberry" in this context is pretty much a challenge. In the two times it is uttered in the Tombstone film, it's a challenge to a gunfight. If you've seen the film, you know how both gunfights end. If not, there will be no spoiler alerts here.
All the questions of origin aside, this particular piece is considered a novelty biker patch. It doesn't associate the wearer with any particular group or philosophy. You might say it's just for fun. It makes a terrific addition to any biker vest or jacket that seems a little bare.
In terms of style, it's as simple as you get. You get a black circle that measures 3 inches in diameter. Both the lettering and six shooters are embroidered in white thread; they stand out very well against the background.
You can tell the embroidery here is top-notch just by looking at the piece. Overall, this patch offers the same quality as every other biker patch in our inventory. Affix it to your jacket or vest and wear it proudly. You will get many years of reliable service from it.
