Britain’s King George VI awarded the now famous George Cross to Malta, then a British colony, for the heroism and gallantry its people demonstrated while under siege during the early stages of World War II. The cross went on to be incorporated into Malta's flag. The same cross plays a prominent role in the design of our Maltese Skull large back patch.
Of course, the skull is the most prominent feature here. That's by design. A nasty-looking skull with large, feathered wings and angry eyes clearly says the person wearing it isn't fooling around. Adding the Maltese version of the George Cross is just a subtle hint to keep your distance.
Meanwhile, the spider webs and chains only increase the danger factor. They make the skull more menacing the longer you look at it. You don't know why; you just know that it looks nasty. So much so that it's better to have this patch on your back than run into someone else who already has it.
The large back patch version of the Maltese Skull measures 12' x 12'. It is the perfect size for the back of your leather vest or jacket. Best of all, it has been purposely designed to last a long time. Its high-quality materials and custom embroidery ensure excellent wear and long life, perhaps even outliving your jacket or vest.
We highly recommend sewing this patch on to leather or denim. It only takes a few minutes with a good sewing machine. Or, if you are so inclined, sew it by hand. Either way, you're going to want to make sure the Maltese Skull large back patch is securely affixed to your garment. The last thing you want is to lose it while you're tooling down the road on your Harley.
