Embroidered Patches - where to get them made

[Petrol Spice]

I had a really good mate of mine die of suddenly and me and some of the boys are looking to have some patches made for our jackets. I can't find anyone in Brisbane that makes them. Can anyone point me to a known mob that do a good job.

Lance, its called a needle and thread. Ask your mum :D

[Fight_fan]

Through leather??? Shit! Ur keen! Will u do it for me Kato??? lol

[Redmohawk]

You need two tools lance first one is called an "Awl" used to punch holes in the leather with a neadle where you want to put them for thread with a separate neadle later and then a metal thimbal (goes over your finger like a hat to push the back of neadle through without hurting your finger) a few neadles and some heavy thread cost you all up about $12 at spotlight mate . Then go for it lol

[KATO ZX7]

mmm leather...

what about glue?

[Redmohawk]

Contact adhesive like "Kwick grip" is faster easyer my patch has stayed on for almost 1 year 2 falls at 100 plus and 87,000 kms and its more waterproof than stitching lol

KA CHING!!!!!

Nope average varies a bit , most weeks of late 1500 k's just mon to fri work without going anywhere on weekends (been a bit slack and taking the car) is 185 km return trip if I go the short route to work and back mostly freeway I prefer freeway on the way too work and hills on the way home through yea along down to merton gap through euroa and back to shep works out about 270 k's that way 5 times a week without going into town (15K's one way do it at least once a day , Burn through a rear tyre (from new to almost threads) about every month without burnouts or otherwise thrashing said tyre. Speedo Km's ticked over 18,000 on my way to NFR is at 20681 atm and had 3 weeks off for X mas and driving the car to much.

Just because you cant fathom something doesnt mean it isnt true, just that you have small minds.

[timbo]

How do you thrash a tyre on a gpz/x 600?

[Redmohawk]

true enough timbo lol

[Shadowzone]

It's doable I used to average 60,000k's a yr on bike. Then I got off them for some time and spent my life in the cab of a truck doing 1000 - 1200k's a day (and sometimes a lot more).

I racked up 70,000 k's in 6 months working as a sales rep driving a company car they used to replace them at 150,000k's so every 12 - 13months new car for the rep.

K's aren't hard to clock up if you don't live and work inside the 20k radius most people tend to live their lives in.

Hmmm... cheers mate! Will look into it. Hadnt considered the glue option tho, didnt think it would adhere well to the leather.

There's a shoe repair place in Schofield Lane,Nowra that does repairs to leather shoes,bags,whatever,and im sure he could do it.
He charges close to fuck all aswell.

[Redmohawk]

Contact Adhesive is what most leather shoe's are stuck together with in the first place now days. If there good shoes there stitched after. Just put a thin layer on both patch and where you want it on your jacket, Easy option for putting on your jacket is lay it out use masking tape to outline where you want glue , give it a wipe with some metho to take off any wax etc on jacket, then brush glue on thinly.

Then leave both patch and jacket separate to let glue dry till its just sticky, you want it almost dry. When you can touch glue without it staying on your finger but is still sticky push patch onto jacket but make sure you get it on square and true as you will only get one go. Then leave for 24 hours, If you want it to be a little more secure a stitch in each corner will stop them lifting.

[Jup]

^^^ what he said. I also leave a phone book on top of the patch while it's drying.
