Topic: Patches on jackets

[Rocking-M]

I picked up some patches to put on my Jacket and their the iron on or stitch type.

Whats the best way to attach to my old leather jacket? I sorta hate to stitch it own.

Do not use glue.


Seemed like a good idea at the time.



Take it to a specialist that works with leather and have them do it.

If you hand stich it, it's going to look like ass.

If you put it under a sewing machine, it'll look better, but then your liner is going to be all cattywhompus.

Spend a few bucks and get it done right.

I wish I had.

Tip:
You can't put leather under a regular sewing machine.
If you do this the machine will surely break, and if your girlfriend is anything like mine she will break something on your bike to get even.

Thanks fellows, you prodded my memory. I had a local gal stitch in the new zippers on my
old jacket, I bet she can do the patches too!

Or any good bootmaker can do it.

Duck tape

staples maybe, duck tape no, it covers the patch and is only suppose to be used on ducks.

Get as many done at the same time as possible.  I had one put on and it cost me $12.  They opened the liner, sewed the patch on and closed the liner back up.  All the labor is in opening/closing the liner.

so, the liner isn't supposed to be falling out of my hand me down leathers?

It wouldn't have "charactor" if it didn't.
