The biker patch in leather, not fabric
Our biker leather patches are entirely designed and made in our family workshop in the South of France, where we have been working leather since 1989. Embossed, coloured or cut out, they combine traditional craftsmanship with the latest tools for a result you won’t find anywhere else: truly unique pieces, built to take the road, far tougher than an embroidered or iron-on patch.
Whether you ride a chopper, a trike or a Harley-Davidson, our patches are made for you. A small biker patch for the front of your vest, a motto, a skull, wings, a large back patch: they dress your vest, your jacket, your bags and saddlebags, or find their place as decoration.
Our full-grain, vegetable-tanned cowhide, 2.5 mm thick, is made especially for Traveller Shop by a French tanner, to our own standards of strength and durability, and we carry out every step ourselves, down to the smallest finishing touch.

Costs more, but it is a piece in another class, made in our workshop |
Cheaper |
A leather patch costs more than an embroidered one, but it is simply not the same class: it is the piece that gives a vest real character, and it ages with it. To find out more: embroidered patch or leather patch, which one for your cut?
To fit it, glue the patch first so it doesn’t move, then sew it on: the pre-punching option works as a template for an even seam. You can also let us fit it for you by mail.
