There are a lot of things you can do with motorcycle patches. Many people use them only for decoration. They add them to their jackets and vests to create their biker identity, or they might put them on their hats or bags to add a little bit of decoration to those items. But while patches are great for decorations, they also work very well for identification. You can use biker patches to make it clear what bags and other items are yours, especially if you have a particular patch that people associate with you.
Adding patches to your jacket makes it easy to pick it out of the pile, especially if you and your biker friends all wear similar looking leather jackets. Of course, if you all have patches on your jackets, then you'll need to be sure you have at least one easy to identify patch.
Patches are perfect for identification because they can be permanently attached to your items. Many bags are the same color. Luggage, for example, seems to come in blue, black, and red. If you fly often, you know how difficult it can be to pick out your luggage from everyone else's. You can put a few large back patches on the front to make it easy to find your bags.
Gathering up your cloth shopping bags for a trip to the grocery store? Put a few patches on each one so it's clear which bags are yours and which aren't. Another item you might want to add a few patches to is your backpack or laptop bag. A lot of these bags look somewhat similar, so a patch can make it look unique and easy to identify. Pick up a few patches and make your bags look great.
