Everything new eventually gets old, right? That being the case, the biker culture of the 40s, 50s, and 60s is now considered old school. It is still the only way to go for a lot of bikers though. If that sounds like you, the Old Skool Motorcycle Skull embroidered iron-on biker patch might just be the patch you've been looking for.
This is a back patch measuring 11 x 9.9 inches. It features the typical biker skeleton donning his leathers and riding a chopper. An orange background could simulate the sun. Who knows? At the bottom of the patch is a banner with '13' on each end and 'Old Skool' in the middle.
There is some debate in the biker community about the meaning of the number 13. We won't get into that right now. As for what it means to be old school, it is all about the postwar culture of days gone by.
An old school biker often has grease under his nails because he works on his own bike. He knows every part inside and out. An old school biker lives for the road. Their destination is not nearly as important as the ride to get there.
It has been said that you will never find old school bikers at coffee shops or ice cream stands. They aren't into social trends and modern thinking. They are big proponents of honor, loyalty, respect, and trust. And yes, old-school bikers are a charitable bunch.
Admittedly, the Old Skool Motorcycle Skull patch doesn't reflect all that. But if you are old school, it doesn't matter. You know what the phrase means. Put this patch on your leather jacket or vest and you'll be easily identified by other old-school bikers. You're part of a club that has withstood the test of time.
