If you follow his blog you may be under the impression that wearing patches is only for bikers or ex-military types. But that couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, all you need to wear patches is a place to put them. Jackets, backpacks, purses, ball caps, or any other piece with a blank space is a candidate for patch or two.
That being said, you might also have the notion that there really are no attractive patches for non bikers. That's also not true. Thecheapplace.com has a selection of wild animal patches that can be worn by just about anyone at any age. And who doesn't like animals?
If you're a nature lover who loves to go backpacking, you'll love the Lion patch offered by thecheapplace.com. This 3"x3" circular patch makes a perfect emblem for your backpack. The King of the Jungle, in black against the yellow background, says you're all about nature and proud of it. There's also a 4.5"x4.5" medium-size tiger patch that looks strangely reminiscent of the LSU tigers. Don't worry, it's not a knock off; the colors are different and it shows the lion's face from the opposite angle.
Here's the thing; animals can say as much about your personality as any other category of patches. Lone wolf bikers for example, might wear thecheapplace.com's Wolf Head patch to tell the world of their independence as bikers. The loner attitude of the solitary biker is reflected in the face of the wolf, which speaks loudly to the independence and freedom of riding alone. Of course, that brings us back to bikers.
At thecheapplace.com there are plenty of wild animal patches designed with them in mind. Several selections make reference to the Harley Hawg, a staple of American biker life. There's also some skull and snake patches as well as my personal favorite, the Rebel Snake patch. I love this one not so much because of this message, although it's not bad, but rather for the color. Against a black background is a bright green and yellow snake wrapped around the rebel flag of the south in red, white, and blue. The color combination is just fantastic!
You may have figured from previous blogs that I'm also a patriotic American. With that in mind, thecheapplace.com has a Don't Tread on Me patch measuring 10"x10". Although the patch doesn't necessarily look patriotic, those who know U.S. history are aware that the phrase was under consideration when our country was designing its first flag. The 'don't tread on me' attitude is the theme of most of American life.
I would love to have this patch on the back of a purple and gold jacket that I wear. The problem is, there's already a sports team patch on the back which I couldn't see giving up . Perhaps I should just purchase a new jacket and sew the Don't Tread On Me patch on the back. After all, you can never have too many jackets.
