Legends Never Die Coloured Leather Patch

Legends never die
A large leather back patch, in full colour, with a helmeted skull in the colours of the American flag, between two wings and two crossed pistons, and the motto “Legends Never Die – Ride Forever”. For those who ride forever. To sew on the back of a vest or a jacket.

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 need to punch the vest leather to pass the needle. With the pre-punching option, we punch holes around the patch in advance, one every 2 mm (0.08 in). The patch then becomes your template: glue it onto the vest with leather glue so it stays in place, punch the vest leather through its holes, and both line up perfectly. All that’s left is to sew with a saddle stitch, using two needles and waxed thread: it’s the strongest stitch for leather, and you’ll easily find a tutorial by searching “saddle stitch leather” on YouTube. For machine sewing, the unpunched patch is better.
