A gorilla smoking a cigar is not something you see every day. Especially if that gorilla looks like a hippie at a 1960's Grateful Dead concert. But now you can have that very image mounted on the back of your leather jacket or vest by way of the Large Gorilla Smoking Cigar back patch from The Cheap Place.
This particular patch is one that can't be described well enough in words to do it justice. As far as back patches go, it's one of a kind. Imagine seeing this gorilla in real life. You probably wouldn't ask it to stop smoking, would you? If you love attitude, this patch probably speaks to your soul.
The Large Gorilla Smoking Cigar back patch measures 9.6x 12 inches. It's a hefty piece of kit. We always recommend sewing back patches on jackets or vest. You want to use a high-quality thread and the smallest needle you can get away with. The needle should be large enough that it won't bend, but don't go any larger. Smaller needles will pierce the fabric more easily – meaning less work for you!
Obviously, this back patch would look fantastic on any jacket or vest. But attaching it to denim offers a color contrast that would really make it stand out. You would still see the patch on black or brown leather, but it wouldn't pop nearly as much. But hey, it's all good.
If you've been looking for an unusual back patch to complete your jack at or vest, this could be it. This patch looks fantastic and simultaneously acts as a conversation starter. A lot of people are going to ask you about it. Just be sure to tell them you found it at The Cheap Place.
