Many people buy patches for their biker friends, even if they aren't bikers themselves. If you're thinking of picking up a few iron on patches for a biker's birthday or other holiday, the first thing you need to figure out is what kind of patch to get him. You might not realize how difficult a decision that will be until you see how many different types of patches are available. There are hundreds of biker patches out there, and they're all a little bit different.
If your friend isn't easily offended or if he is a little bit on the rude side, you might consider some offensive patches. These patches usually feature sayings, but there are some that are images. They include curse words and rude gestures, so if you know the person won't appreciate that, skip over these.
Patriotic patches are very popular with bikers who serve or served in the military, work as policemen, or love their country very much. Some of these patches are small and depict the U.S. flag or other symbol, while others are very large and will cover the entire back of a jacket or vest.
Another good patch option, especially if you're not sure what to get, is a biker patch. Some of these patches feature the name or logo of a specific bike brand, so you will need to know what your biker buddy rides. Others say things like 'Biker Mom' or 'Biker Grandpa', which make good patches to give your relatives.
No matter what type of biker patch you give as a gift, your friends are sure to enjoy them. Don't worry if they've got a jacket full of patches already, most bikers will find something to decorate or will hold on to the patch until they need a new jacket.
