Types of Leather Patches

 

Leather Patches for Repair

When considering a leather patch for repair, there are basically two types:  adhesive and iron on.  For a small area that does not receive a lot of wear, an adhesive patch can do well.

However, if the area needing to be patched is relatively large and will be subjected to constant wear and tear, an iron-on patch would be the best way to go as it will be more resilient.

Decorative Leather Patches

Leather patches used for decorative purposes are available in a wide range of styles.  They are generally offered in those materials of fabric or leather.

The details presented on the patch can be embroidered, embossed, debossed, and engraved.  Although the other styles are available, when most people think of a decorative patch, an embroidered style pops to mind.

 

 

For Clothing

 

Custom Leather Patches For Jackets

An example of a customer leather patch for a jacket would be the ones we are familiar with seeing that club members sport, such as those of biker clubs.

The patch may be a means to note which club the individual is a member of, or maybe even a reminder of a special event.

Leather Patches For Jeans

Although this next one is usually a decorative move that is popular with the younger generation, some like to place leather patches on their jeans.  These patches are generally a representation of a favorite rock band or place.

 

Leather Patches For Jackets

When it comes to leather patches for jackets, the most common are those of the military.  These patches can provide information such as the person’s last name, their branch, and accommodations they may have received.

 

Leather Motorcyle Patches

More often than not, the most commonly seen leather patches are those adorning the vest of a motorcycle enthusiast.  These patches are meant to tell a story of the individual’s life, including those that the individual has been in contact with and places that they may have visited.

Leather Patch For Couch

The best type of leather patch for repairing a leather couch would be a leather repair tape.  This type of repair tape typically contains a non-residual kind of adhesive on the back.

The repair tape is versatile in that you may cut it to the length needed and into various shapes and sizes.

 

Leather Patches For Car Seats

Although you can choose to take your vehicle to a professional to have the leather seats patched, there is also the option of DIY’ing it yourself.

The main point to keep in mind is that the earlier you repair the tear, and the smaller it is, the easier overall it will be.  You will need to purchase a leather repair kit and set aside approximately an hour to get the job done.

Leather Patch Kit

As mentioned above, you can perform repairs with a leather patch repair kit yourself.  These kits can go a long way to saving you the money it would cost to have the job done by a professional.

The typical leather patch repair kit will include those items such as alcohol wipes, clean clothes, grain paper, adhesive designed for use with leather, swabs, backing patches, leather pieces for patching, colored dye, glue, and instructions on how to get the job done.
