You just bought a bunch of new patches at a recent motorcycle rally, it's hard to resist them, isn't it? and now they are sitting in a pile in your suitcase or collecting dust in the closet. Once you buy them, it's hard to get motivated to actually put them on your jacket and to decide how to arrange them. Here's a few thoughts to where different patches should go.
Big patches, of course, fit best on the back of the jacket. Whether it's an eagle patch with wings spread far apart or a skull with huge flames, the back of the jacket is the best place for it. Plus, when you leave someone in the dust, they'll be left looking at your awesome eagle.
Smaller patches can find a home on your arms. Because of their diminutive size, several can be lined up on your arms and you can fit more on your jacket! Plus, they'll be right out there for everyone to see.
Now for that really special patch, you know, that one that just makes your heart go pitter-patter or memorializes a special rally or even a great friend. That's the one you should place in the pocket position, right over your heart. Yes, it's cheesy. But where else would you put your favorite patch?
Patches signify who are you are to the world around you, so it's time to break out the iron or needle and put those patches on your jacket. You're jacket will be more you, and after all the money and time you spent picking out those patches, don't they deserve to see the sun? Sure they do.
