Gaulois Embossed Leather Rocker – Bottom

Gaulois, on the bottom of your back
A bottom rocker in embossed leather, 17.1 × 6.4 cm, with gothic lettering, in white, red or aged brown at €35. Optional: 4 mini skulls on the corners for €25 more.

Pre-punching option (+€5)
Sewing your patch on yourself, by hand, is the personal touch that makes all the difference on a vest. On a leather vest you also have to pierce the vest leather to pass the needle. With the pre-punching option, we punch the edge of the patch in advance, with a hole every 2 mm. The patch then becomes your template: glue it to the vest with leather glue so it no longer moves, pierce the vest leather through its holes, and both are perfectly aligned. All that is left is to sew with a saddle stitch, with two needles and waxed thread: it is the strongest stitch for leather, and you will easily find a tutorial by searching “leather saddle stitch” on YouTube. For machine sewing, the unpunched patch is better.

Made in our workshop
In our family workshop, since 1989, our patches are cut from full-grain leather made especially for Traveller Shop by a French tanner, then embossed. On the photo the relief barely shows: in real life the design stands out clearly, and the patch looks even better.
