Finding the perfect patches for your biker jacket can be a chore. Sometimes, you want a design or image that seems to not exist anywhere. Hunting for the perfect patches gets frustrating when you can't find anyone selling what you want, but you know the patch is out there, you've got buddies wearing it, but they don't know where they got it, or if they do, that place isn't in business anymore. If you're having difficulty finding a patch, here are some suggestions.
Go to a biker rally and look at all the different merchandise tables. Sometimes, especially if it's an out of state rally, you may find the vendors there have different patches than you can find in your home area. You can also talk to them about the patch you want. Maybe they have some on back order, or maybe they can give you some companies to contact.
Online shopping is a great place to find patches in today's modern world. The Cheap Place has hundreds of different patches and may have just what you want. If it's not listed, you can always email and describe the patch you want. Sometimes, it can be special ordered.
If no one has the patch you want, there's one resort left: buy a blank patch and make your own. All you have to do is know a few basic embroidery stitches and you can create your own patches. The downside is that they won't have the iron-on plastic backing, so you will have to sew them on to your clothing. Other than that, making your own patches can be a lot of fun.
