Skull and Roses Patch measures 9.6x10 inches and is Embroidered in Black / Gray. The patch can be sewn on to Leather Biker Jackets, Vests or Chaps. The patch can also be ironed on to Shirts, Hats or Denim material such as Jeans. Features plastic iron on backing and clean laser cut embroidered borders. Japanese made iron on glue requires temperature between 270-290 Degrees Fahrenheit. Use a heat press for 30 seconds to adhere the patch permanently to your clothing. Using a regular household iron will probably not be as permanent as one hopes. If possible we recommend you sew on your patches for a more durable application. Never iron on patches to Leather or Nylon materials.
The embroidered patch in the image features a detailed and somewhat edgy design centered around a skull, with additional elements that give it a rugged, rebellious vibe. The patch is primarily in a monochromatic color scheme, using shades of white, gray, and black, which gives it a stark and dramatic appearance.
At the center of the patch is a human skull, facing forward with a menacing expression. The skull is embroidered in white and gray threads, with intricate stitching that highlights its features, such as the hollow eye sockets, nasal cavity, and toothy grin. The eye sockets and nasal cavity are filled with black stitching, creating a deep, shadowy effect that adds to the skull's ominous look. The teeth are detailed with white stitching, giving the skull a gritted, almost snarling expression.
Piercing through the skull vertically is a dagger, with its blade pointing downward. The dagger is stitched in shades of gray, with the blade itself being a lighter gray and the handle a darker shade. The handle has a crosshatch pattern, adding texture and detail, and the blade appears to "penetrate" the skull, emerging from the bottom, which enhances the patch's bold and aggressive aesthetic.
Behind the skull, there are two crossed swords, positioned diagonally to form an "X" shape. The swords are also embroidered in gray, with detailed hilts that include a quilted pattern, giving them a realistic and three-dimensional appearance. The swords add a sense of conflict or battle to the design, complementing the skull and dagger.
Flanking the skull on either side are two circular gear-like elements, each with a spoked design that resembles a revolver cylinder or a mechanical gear. These gears are stitched in gray with black and white accents, and they have small circular "holes" that mimic the chambers of a revolver cylinder, adding a mechanical or industrial element to the patch. The gears contribute to a steampunk or gritty aesthetic, blending the organic skull with mechanical imagery.
At the top of the patch, above the skull and dagger, are two roses, one on each side of the dagger's handle. The roses are embroidered in gray with white highlights, and their leaves are detailed with a darker gray. The roses add a touch of contrast to the otherwise harsh elements of the design, often symbolizing beauty, love, or remembrance in juxtaposition with the skull's association with death or danger.
The patch has a black background, and its border is irregular, following the contours of the design elements. The border is outlined with a black zigzag stitch, typical for embroidered patches to prevent fraying and provide a clean edge. The bottom of the patch has a scalloped design, with small semi-circular shapes that add a decorative touch.
The patch is placed on a dark fabric surface, likely black or dark gray denim, which complements the monochromatic color scheme and makes the design stand out. This type of patch, with its combination of a skull, dagger, swords, gears, and roses, likely appeals to someone with an affinity for edgy, rebellious, or subcultural styles, such as those associated with biker culture, punk, or gothic aesthetics. It’s intended for decorative use, such as being sewn onto jackets, vests, or bags, to add a bold and symbolic statement. The imagery might represent themes of danger, mortality, or resilience, with the roses adding a layer of complexity to the overall message.
