Some of our biker patches are meant to be humorous. Others say something about the biker lifestyle or culture. But every now and again, we run across a patch with a message that is a morale booster more than anything else.
Enter the I’m Your Huckleberry iron-on morale patch. Though the phrase 'I'm Your Huckleberry' was made famous by the 1993 Val Kilmer film Tombstone, it had been around as an idiom for more than 150 years at that point. So what does it mean? That depends on who you ask.
The two most common meanings are somewhat related. First, you can take it to mean 'I'm the one you're looking for', in the sense that you are the right person for the job. However, that meaning is unlikely for the two scenes in Tombstone in which it's uttered. Based on the film's storyline, the phrase was more likely used as a challenge.
The second possible meaning relates to literary characters Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. Saying 'I'm your Huckleberry' is like declaring that you are someone else's friend. It is like saying that someone else can depend on you.
Mount this small biker patch to your leather jacket or vest and it can mean whatever you want it to mean. It can be your own personal challenge to anyone who purports to be a better biker. It can be your way of saying that you are loyal to your friends. It's all good.
This is a small patch at just 4 x 1.5 inches. Nonetheless, we advise using needle and thread to affix it to you clothing. Black thread works best. To make the job easier, use the smallest diameter needle that will not bend as you sew. A smaller needle will pierce the patch much easier.
