There are many different types of patches out there. You can go with a Native American theme or a jacket covered in bright patches. You could go with different sayings or with religious patches. However, in recent years, many people have decided to cover their jackets in patriotic patches. They use different eagles and United States flags to make their jackets or vests show just how much pride they have in their country.
Sometimes, these people are military officers or former military, but they don't have to be. Anyone who loves the U.S. can cover their jacket in patriotic patches. If you are military, you can add some of the various military patches in with the flags and eagles. You can even add patches that resemble military ribbons and other awards, making your riding jacket somewhat resemble your military dress uniform. Patches proclaiming your service in any of the branches of the military or in specific conflicts are also available and look great placed alongside different patriotic patches.
While most of the patriotic patches discussed here are for the United States, there are many patches for different countries. For example, you can add a Canadian flag to your jacket if you're from Canada, or a four leaf clover if you're from Ireland.
There are a few other patriotic patches that make it clear where you stand on certain issues. For example, some speak out against the government or the president, while others show your respect and support for troops. For parents of military members, there are patches that let people know how proud you are of your soldier.
If you haven't picked out patches for your new jacket or vest yet, why not go with a patriotic theme? It's colorful, fun, and makes a statement.
