Blog for Bikers and Patches

Every now and again we run across a biker patch that is in no need of a flowery description from us. The Indian Head Dress Axes and Feathers iron-on patch is one of them. Its image is powerful enough to speak on its own. What could we possibly add to help customers better understand this piece? Nothing.



If you are a fan of Native American culture and its symbols, this biker patch has it all. From the brightly colored headdress to the warrior axes we otherwise refer to as tomahawks, it is all there. The patch is a stark reminder of the native cultures that roamed North America long before Europeans arrived on the east coast.



Seeing this patch prompts an important question: why do you wear a biker patch on the back of your vest or jacket? If you're like most bikers, your back patch is a source of identity. It lets others know who your people are. That's good. We all need to belong to a group of like-minded people, at least to a certain degree.



This particular patch might be exactly what you're looking for. If you have empty space on your jacket or vest, it could be perfect for a large back patch like this one. At 12 x 12 inches, this is one of our biggest. It will be appreciated by viewers – both for its symbolism and striking visuals.



We hope you will take a good look at the Indian Head Dress Axes and Feathers back patch. As always, your choice to purchase this patch represents an investment in high-quality materials and workmanship. This is a sturdy and well-made patch featuring the finest embroidery and a time-tested design. It will offer you reliable service for many, many years.

Is it possible for a biker patch to look calm and soothing? We'll leave that to you. But if it is, the Wolf and Feathers embroidered iron-on patch would be an excellent candidate. There is simply nothing intimidating about this one. If anything, looking at it might make you feel like you want to spend all night gazing at the stars.



Every once in a while, it is good to see a biker patch that isn't dark and foreboding. Maybe that's why so many bikers appreciate wolf patches. The wolf is a symbol of cunning and intelligence. It is a symbol of bravery and honor. You really cannot go wrong wearing a back patch sporting a wolf as its centerpiece.



In this particular case, the artist who designed the patch combined a majestic looking wolf with a traditional dream catcher – complete with feathers. It's quite a compelling image when you see it for the first time. The thing that caught our attention is the fact that the wolf isn't staring you down with angry eyes and a professional-grade snarl.



Instead, the wolf looks calm and relaxed. It is almost as if he is at peace with the universe. We could all use that kind of peace in our lives, right? You can at least promote it by sewing this patch to your biker vest or leather jacket. It measures 10 x 12 inches, making it the perfect size for a back patch.



As always, this piece offers incomparable artwork along with top-notch quality. We are extremely proud of every patch in our inventory, and this one is no exception. Whether you are a lone wolf or you prefer to ride with your closest friends, this may be the biker path you've been looking for all along.

Some bikers like their back patches intimidating and somewhat dark. That's why you see lots of skull patches among bikers. But there are others who prefer something a little more laid-back. The Lone Wolf Howling Moon and Feathers embroidered iron-on patch fits the bill.



This is the ideal biker patch for the motorcycle owner who takes the idea of independence to its fullest extent. Sew it to the back of your jacket or vest as a way of telling the rest of the world that you are proud to be a lone wolf biker. You go where you want, when you want, along the route you feel like taking.



We appreciate the design of this particular patch for a couple of reasons. First is the calm and relaxing color scheme. Browns and oranges combine with subtle shades of gray to present what is a laid-back, yet clearly understood image. We also appreciate the way the feathers hang down from the moon. It is almost as though the moon is being used as a dream catcher.



This patch would probably look fantastic against brown leather. That doesn't mean you can't attach it to black leather or blue denim. It all works. The main focal point of the image is the wolf, and it will stand out regardless of the material you sew it to.



If you have been looking for a back patch and you prefer to ride alone, this one may be just what you're looking for. The back of your biker vest or jacket is the perfect home for it. A lower rocker would complement it nicely and provide a visual foundation for the back patch. If you are not interested in a lower rocker, no worries. This patch stands nicely on its own.

Are you feeling lucky? Are you looking for a new biker patch for the back of your jacket? Check out the Red Bandanna Skull 8-Ball Aceof Spades embroidered biker patch from The Cheap Place. You are going to love this one!



Right off the bat is the skeleton wearing a red bandanna. He doesn't look like the kind of guy you would want to meet in a dark alley. He's wearing a leather biker jacket with a patch on his left shoulder that says, 'Biker Life'. Even without the rest of the items depicted in the image, the skeleton biker would be enough to let the entire world know you appreciate the biker lifestyle.



Throw in the Magic 8-Ball, the ace of spades, and a pair of lucky dice, and this patch says you are willing to take chances. You're not a cautious soul who tends to live life on the boring side. You don't mind risk. You do not mind getting your hands dirty and maybe getting a few bugs in your teeth. When you get on your bike to ride, all bets are off.



Rest assured this 12 x 12-inch back patch is more than capable of living up to your rough-and-tumble lifestyle. Its rigid plastic backing provides the perfect foundation for intricate embroidery in white, red, and multiple shades of gray. There is even some black thrown in for definition.



The Red Bandana Skull patch is one of the larger back patches in our inventory. It should fit nicely between the shoulders of your leather vest or denim jacket. Be sure to sew it in place, as ironing is not all that good for leather. Besides which, needle and thread will keep the patch more secure.

The thought of staring down the barrel of a shotgun isn't a pleasant one. A double-barreled shotgun would make the experience twice as uncomfortable. Perhaps the designer of the Shotgun Cowboy Skull embroidered iron-on patch had that in mind when they designed the image. If nothing else, the image is intimidating.



Here, the barrel of the shotgun takes center stage. We are impressed by how well the image design and embroidery work together to create a near realistic illusion. Stare at the patch long enough and you might fool your brain into thinking you're looking at a real shotgun. It is kind of eerie that way.



At any rate, the owner of the shotgun appears to be an unhappy skeleton who has a bone to pick with you. How do you escape his wrath? Sew the patch to the back of your leather jacket or denim vest. That way, the shotgun is pointing at someone else.



In all seriousness, this 11 x 11-inch patch combines the well-known biker skeleton with a Western theme for a somewhat different look. This may not be an ideal back patch for city slickers, but it is perfect for those bikers who prefer small-town America and rural areas. If that sounds like you, we would be willing to bet you appreciate the cowboy hat with its blue band and silver stars, along with the red bandanna around the skeleton's neck.



This patch would look darn good accompanied by two smaller patches, one on each side. Perhaps an American flag and a cross? That is entirely up to you. Whatever you decide to do, we recommend you don't attempt to affix this patch with an iron. Instead, break out the needle and thread. A year or two from now, you'll be glad you did.

If you've spent time looking through our patch inventory, you may have guessed that we have a thing for skulls and Native American symbols. It's not just us. Both are used extensively within the biker culture. Both are combined here, in the Indian Headdress Skull embroidered iron-on patch.



The first thing most people notice about this patch is the size of the headdress. It easily dominates the entire image. As a multi-colored headdress, it depicts a warrior who has been rewarded for multiple acts of bravery. From an artistic standpoint, the different colors give the headdress a certain amount of definition that can be seen at quite a distance. That is what you want for a patch you are going to sew onto the back of your biker jacket or vast.



As far as biker patches go, the skull is right at home here. Note the angry and somewhat evil expression on its face. If you were looking at a living human being instead, that expression would tell you that you're in big trouble. Bikers love that sort of thing.



Are you a biker with a fondness for American Indian symbolism? If so, you have found your back patch. This is the one you'll want to sew to your leathers – right between the shoulder blades. Don't mount it too high or you won't have enough room for an upper rocker patch. You will have plenty of room below for a lower rocker.



The Indian Headdress Skull embroidered iron-on patch has a rigid plastic backing that provides plenty of support. However, we recommend against relying on the iron-on method to affix the patch in place. You are better off with needle and thread. If you don't know how to sew, consider this patch a challenge to learn.

The headdress is a unique symbol of Native American culture and history. What we normally imagine as the typical headdress, complete with colorful feathers, wasn't the only type of headdress Native Americans wore. It was just one of many different types.



Nonetheless, the Indian Headdress Feathers Skull embroidered iron-on patch pays homage to Native Americans with this beautiful piece of art. It combines Native American culture with one of the biker community's most recognized symbols: the skull. Together, the two symbols represent the freedom and independence of the biker lifestyle.



If the back of your biker vest or jacket doesn't have a patch on it right now, consider this one. It measures 11 x 9.8 inches, making it ideal for placement between the shoulder blades. Its width is such that you probably would not have room for smaller patches on the left and right. But top and bottom rockers would work just fine.



What we like most about the Indian Headdress Feathers Skull patch is its bright colors. The red on the end of the feathers really makes the patch stand out against the black background. Subtle shades of blue, tan, brown, and gray add a nice touch while giving the image more visual texture.



As is the case with all our patches, this piece is made of the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. A hundred percent synthetic rayon thread is more than capable of providing years of reliable service. The heavy-duty, plastic backing provides significant strength and rigidity, guaranteeing the patch will not droop if properly affixed.



We need not remind you that the best method for attaching this patch to your jacket or vest is sewing it on. So break out your needle and thread and get to work. You'll be glad you did.

There is something about the American bald eagle that captures one's attention. Maybe it's the fact that this is such a majestic bird in flight and form. Perhaps it's because the bald eagle is one of our national symbols. Either way, images depicting the eagle resonate with so many people.



It makes sense that we would offer a biker patch devoted exclusively to the eagle. That's what you get with this one. The Brown Eagle large, embroidered iron-on biker patch requires no embellishments. There is nothing fancy here. You get the eagle in all its glory, in monochrome brown against a black background.



Sew this patch on your denim jacket or vest and it will stand out clearly. The contrast between brown and blue will be unmistakable. If you wear black or brown leather, complementing the eagle with contrasting top and bottom rockers will keep the patch visible.



The Brown Eagle large, embroidered iron-on biker patch screams freedom. The image makes it clear to anyone who sees it that you value freedom. Whether you are on your bike or climbing out of the SUV with your family, there will be no question.



Here at The Cheap Place, we offer all sorts of large back patches for bikers. So many of them include depictions of eagles that it's hard for us to give an exact number. Needless to say,the eagle is an important symbol to the biker culture. You know this, which is why this patch appeals to you.



As always, the size and weight of this patch suggest that you attach it to your jacket or vest with a heavy-duty thread. If you don't know how to sew, get this patch and learn. You will kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.

Military veterans and the biker culture have been closely aligned for several decades. In fact, a lot of modern bikers are ex-military. So it's only fitting that we offer bikers the In Memory of Fallen Heroes large embroidered iron-on patch. It is a back patch designed to be mounted on a jacket or vest.



The patch contains all the elements you would expect from a piece of this nature: the seals of all five branches of the U.S. military – including the U.S. Marines and Coast Guard – along with an American flag, a bald eagle, and the POW-MIA logo. Lettering on the perimeter reminds viewers of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. A blue banner reminds us to never forget.



While the origins of the modern biker club date back to the early 20th century, the biker culture itself really started to come into its own during the brief lull between World Wars I and II. The biker culture enjoyed a significant boost in the postwar era followed by an unprecedented surge of enthusiasm during and after the Vietnam War.



Soldiers, returning home from Vietnam to face undeserved hostility, turned to the biker culture for acceptance. Veterans and bikers have been close ever since. Maybe that's the way it should be. Both the military and bikers value freedom above almost all else. Loyalty takes a very close second.



Whether you served or not, the In Memory of Fallen Heroes large, embroidered iron-on patch is a good choice for your vest or jacket. It is a circular patch that measures 12 x 12 inches. Its shape is perfectly suited to accommodate rockers on top and bottom. But if you want to display the patch alone, it certainly carries its own weight.

If there is one thing bikers are passionate about, it's freedom. The freedom to hop on your bike and go wherever you want, whenever you want, is part and parcel of the biker lifestyle. That being said, the Freedom Isn't Free Motorcycle Eagle embroidered iron-on biker patch says it all. Countless men and women have given their lives for our freedom over the years. This patch commemorates that.



The Freedom Isn't Free banner is complemented by an American bald eagle with outstretched wings perched atop the handlebars of a patriotic motorcycle adorned in the Stars and Stripes. Everything in the image is quintessential American biker. You are going to love this patch, no doubt.



Measuring at 9.2 x 10.5 inches, this is one of the smaller back patches we sell. Being taller than wider, you could complement it with two smaller patches on either side. Top and bottom rockers would also work, though the banner of the image suits that purpose all on its own. This patch will look good on the back of your biker vest or jacket whether you sew it on alone or accompanied by other patches.



Speaking of sewing, that's the best way to affix the Freedom Isn't Free Motorcycle Eagle embroidered iron-on biker patch to your vest or jacket. A good quality thread will keep the patch in place for as long as you own the garment. Sew right through the black border and plastic backing with a needle sturdy enough to pierce both materials – but use the smallest diameter needle you can. This will make sewing easier.



We are proud to live and work in a country that still values freedom. If freedom is important to you, this may be the perfect biker patch to wear on your back.
