A denim jacket is the perfect blank canvas for embroidered patches. Whether you like a clean, minimal look or a busy, collected style, a few well-placed patches make a jacket one of a kind. Here are six layouts to try, using patches from our embroidered patch collection.
1. One statement patch on the back
Choose one large patch and center it between the shoulder blades. A bold design like our Large Red Rose Patch is all you need.
2. A small cluster on the chest pocket
Group two or three small patches over one chest pocket, keeping about a finger-width between them. Small florals such as the Small Floral Teacup Patch work well here.
3. The flower garden
Mix roses, daisies and mandalas across a sleeve or the lower back. Our flower patches come in many sizes, so you can build a layered garden look.
4. Tough meets pretty
Pair a skull patch with roses with a soft daisy patch for a playful contrast.
5. Animal friends
Choose two or three favorites from our cute animal patches, such as frogs, bunnies or puppies, and scatter them across the front panels.
6. Vacation vibes
Bring in color with tropical patches like bird of paradise leaves or a coconut cocktail on the sleeve.
Tips for a clean finish
Lay the jacket flat and arrange patches with the jacket on a table before applying anything. Take a photo so you can copy the layout. Apply with an iron following our guide to ironing on patches, and add a few stitches around the edges for a lasting hold, as shown in our sewing guide. New to flower patches?
