Large Native American Woman Leather Patch, Aged Brown or Colour

A Native American warrior for the back of your vest
A large 17.8 × 32.6 cm patch, cut to the shape of the design: a Native American woman warrior standing tall, with a crest and feathers in her hair, a medallion belt, fringed leggings and a rifle in hand. Sew it on the back of a vest or jacket.

Two versions
Aged brown (€75): the design is embossed in the leather, the figure in black on an aged-brown ground, with a black edge all around.
Colour (€120): the same warrior in colour, with a turquoise outline.

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.
