There are a number of patches for different professionals. For example, if you're a firefighter, you'll find a number of different firefighter-related patches. There are also many different patches for those who have been in the military. While most firefighter patches are somewhat similar, though, military patches come in a number of different types and styles. Of course, some of them are for specific branches of the military, while others are more generic. If you're planning on doing a jacket in a military theme, you'll want to look for a mixture of these patches.
For the back of your jacket, there are many large back patches that feature soldiers and other images from war and the military. There are also some large eagle patches and American patches that work as well. If you're going for a patriotic theme, you'll want one of the eagle patches with a U.S. flag on it. If you're going for a more military-themed or veteran biker theme, one of the other patches might fit better.
There are small rocker patches you can buy to put on the shoulder of your jacket or on the front of your vest. Some of these rockers have the name of a branch of the armed service, while others feature the names of specific conflicts. If you were in the Iraqi War, for example, there's a specific rocker patch for that. There are also some circular patches that feature the different armed service logos. You can put these patches on the shoulder of your jacket as well.
If you've been awarded a military ribbon for distinguished service, there are a number of patches that feature embroidered replicas of these ribbons. You'll also find military patches that feature the Purple Heart and other honors. No matter what military branch you were in, you'll find enough patches to create a great jacket.
