When people think about leather patches, what comes to mind? For the most part, it’s just a patch on a pair of Wranglers worn by a cowboy. Patches made of leather provide an immediate impression. Each part of these patches is instantly recognized, from their distinct hue to the way the pattern looks to be burnt or pressed into the cloth, to the distinctive smooth feel of the development side or the rough feel of the reverse. Look no farther than Signature Patches if you’re seeking a robust patch choice to tie your outfit together.
Because our leather patches are made of custom leather, there’s no need to be concerned about any cows being slaughtered in the process of making your purchase. Our online leather patches, on the other hand, are virtually indistinguishable from the genuine thing in terms of appearance and feel. The possibilities for these patches are endless, but we felt it would be a good idea to look at some of your other alternatives for displaying your design in leather before deciding whether these products are the right fit for your order.
Benefits Of Custom Leather Patches
Each patch kind, of course, has its own set of benefits. PVC patches are weatherproof and watertight, making them ideal for usage outside. Woven patches catch an amount of detail that other patch kinds can’t match. Whatever you need your patches for, we have such a patch kind that will help you achieve your objectives.
Threadless patches include custom leather patches, which are made without needing to sew thread through with a net weave like embroidered patches. But that doesn’t rule out the possibility of incorporating a thread into your design. A merrowed border was added to the leather patch above, just like any other patch of a comparable form. This isn’t a required choice for this patch style, but it helps give the patch a more vintage appearance.
If you’re wondering why we utilize custom leather rather than real leather, the most important reason is cost. Because leather is less costly, the price of your patches will be less than if we used real leather. Furthermore, there is no change in quality as a result of the cost reduction. So, if you can acquire the same goods for less money, isn’t it worth it? Aside from the expense, custom leather is more durable than real leather, simpler to maintain in the long term, and considerably less prone to scratching. Custom leather is also less prone to warping and breaking than leather since it does not hold water as leather does.
Now that you’ve learned about the benefits of custom leather, the only question left is which type of leather patch is best for your order.
Leather Patches Design
There are a couple of different ways to apply custom designs to your custom leather patches. Designs can be debossed or impressed onto the patch, which is two of the most popular alternatives. The patch’s backdrop is elevated with an embossed pattern. This design choice has the appearance and feel of embroidered patches, which feature a design formed by stitching that lies above the patch’s mesh.
The antithesis of embossed motifs, debossed designs are sunken into the patch. If you’ve ever purchased a pair of jeans with such a leather patch stitched into the waistband, the emblem on the patch was likely debossed rather than embossed. As a result, this is one of the most often used methods for making the best leather patches.
The elevated and recessed areas of the pattern will give the debossed or embossed patches a distinct texture. Some clients like the feel of woven or heat transfer patches because of their smooth surface. If you don’t want your design to be elevated above or recessed into the patch, we also have printing choices that will allow your design to lie flush.
Silkscreening and UV printing are two methods for imprinting a personalized pattern on a patch without altering the feel of the patch. They’re also the simplest method to add color to your patch designs. Silkscreen printing, for example, is a quick and straightforward approach to put layered color graphics in place. This is due to the fact that silkscreen printing is done by generating precise stencils of a pattern and then pushing ink through them. You can get several colors in place by using separate stencils since certain portions of each stencil may be blocked off, enabling the ink to only pass across where it’s needed.
Leather Patches Can Be Ordered
We provide a variety of colored leather patches to make picking the appropriate leather patch for your requirements even easier. In the end, finding the best technique to bring your creative designs to life is all that matters. Only a leather patch does for some styles. When you work with Signature Patches, you can be confident that we will be able to build the appropriate patch for your requirements.
Custom leather patches are made using different materials and processes than any of our other patches. As a result, these patches cost more than their embroidered and woven equivalents. However, the quality and distinctiveness of the patches more than compensate for the modest price rise. No other patch choice is nearly as suitable whether you’re searching for the greatest compliment to your motorcycle club’s leather coats or jackets, or if you’re seeking the finest method to unite your team.
