Nothing is more striking than a leather jacket with an eye-catching patch on the back. It looks cool, and when people see you wearing it, they remember. If you want that same look, you need to know the best ways to attach a patch. Iron-on patches are very popular because of how easy they are to affix to most types of clothing, but you may find yourself wondering “Can you iron on patches to leather?” Read on to find out!
Ironing Patches On Leather Garments
Leather is a unique material. It is animal skin, and not fabric, so you must treat it carefully. Heat can damage and warp leather, so iron on patches are not the best choice. But that doesn’t mean you can’t attach your custom patches to leather garments! The best option for applying patches to leather is to sew them on, and American Patch makes wonderful patches that you can sew onto any garment.
If you aren’t handy with needle and thread, hire a seamstress to do it for you. Many people have attempted to attach patches to leather jackets using leather glue, or other epoxies. This is a bad idea. Leather looks tough, but because of its unique characteristics, glues can damage it. We are proud to create wonderful custom patches that can be sewn on, and of course, shipping is always free in the United States. Request your free quote now to get started!
Sew Patches On Your Leather Jacket Instead

We even have glow-in-the-dark threads! They can be made in virtually any shape or size, and you can choose up to eight thread colors at no extra charge.
Woven patches are wonderful for intricate designs, with small letters being a great example. Instead of using a substrate to embroider threads on, we weave the threads together to form the patch. This is an excellent option for patches you sew on to leather jackets.
