Hot Leathers FAFO 4 Patch for Apparel

Hot Leathers patches all come with a heat-sealed backing for easy application. This means that our patches can be easily ironed on or sewn onto most clothing.

Instructions for Sewing on a Patch: When sewing on a patch, it is important to note that sewing by hand will give you greater control and is easier than trying to use a sewing machine, especially when sewing into leather. Keep in mind that sewing on a patch will leave permanent holes on your jacket, so be careful about the placement before you start. Here are the steps to follow: 1. Identify where you want the patch and outline the area with tailor’s chalk. 2. Use a sewing pick to pick open the bottom seam of your garment lining just enough to allow your hand to fit inside the garment. 3. Position your inside hand flat between the lining and the outlined area. 4. Use your outside hand to position the patch. You can lightly spray leather adhesive on the area to hold the patch in place, but this is not a permanent adhesive. 5. Begin threading your upholstery needle using a strong nylon thread that matches your patch. Use a thimble to push the needle through the leather, moving from inside the item to the outside. This will allow the knot to be on the inside of the item. Then pull the needle through and out with your outside hand, and back down through the patch and leather. 6. Continue this pattern all around the patch, keeping stitches close together and to the end of the patch for the most secure attachment. 7. Once you have circled back to where you started, send the needle through the first stitch and loop it around a few times to make a finishing knot. 8. Finally, restitch the garment’s lining, and you're all set.

Instructions for Ironing on a Patch: If you prefer to iron on the patch, follow these steps: 1. Preheat your iron to 325-335 degrees. Do not use steam. 2. Place the patch on the desired area of the garment. 3. Place a thin cloth over the patch. 4. Press the iron firmly over the patch for 30-40 seconds. 5. Turn the garment inside-out and iron the back of the patch for another 20-30 seconds.

Hot Leathers patches are perfect for any jacket, vest, shirt, or garment. They feature an embroidered design and a heat-sealed backing for easy iron-on application. Designed in the USA, Hot Leathers has been the leader in motorcycle apparel since 1983.
