These recent runs for local riding clubs show why classic embroidery is the gold standard for bikers: heavy thread, thick borders, and a rugged look that belongs on leather. We sew these using high-tension polyester thread on stiff 12oz twill substrates. they won’t fray in the wind, rot in the rain, or fade in the Texas sun. We build heavy-duty gear for riders who need it to last.
built for the texas road.
Riding in Texas is tough on your gear. Our patches are made to survive the hot Houston sun, heavy rain, and highway bugs. We use strong materials so your club colors will not fade, fray, or fall apart after a long ride.
types of biker patches we make.
We know motorcycle culture. We make the exact patches riders actually wear on their vests and jackets. Here is what we can make for your crew.
3-piece club sets.
This is the classic look for the back of your vest. We make the large center logo, the curved top rocker, and the bottom rocker to complete your club’s set.
name tags and rank patches.
you need to show who is who. We make small front-chest patches for club titles. Whether you need a patch for your president, road captain, or a new prospect, we have you covered.
memorial and rally patches.
Some rides mean more than others. For biker memorial patches with tiny text, we recommend custom woven patches for maximum clarity. We make custom patches for big biker rallies, charity events, and memorial rides so you can always honor fallen friends.
pick your patch style: thread or rubber.
You have two great choices for your riding gear. Here is a simple guide to help you pick the best one.
classic thread (embroidered).
this is the traditional, old-school biker look. It is made of tightly woven thread, typical of our custom embroidered patches. It is perfect for classic club logos and looks amazing sewn onto a leather or denim vest.
tough rubber (pvc).
These custom PVC patches are a modern, waterproof solution made of solid rubber. It is great for riders because it is so easy to clean. if your patch gets covered in highway mud or smashed bugs, you just wipe it clean with a wet rag.
stay visible with reflective patches.
riding a motorcycle at night can be dangerous. we can make your patches using special reflective thread or backgrounds. these patches look normal during the day, but they glow brightly when car headlights hit them at night. it helps drivers see you from a distance, keeping you safer during night rides around houston.
choosing the right border for your vest.
the border is the ring of thread that goes around the edge of your patch. it isn’t just for looks; it stops the patch from falling apart. there are two main styles you should know about.
merrowed borders
this is the classic, thick, raised edge you see on most biker patches. it is very strong and gives the patch a traditional look.
laser-cut borders
if your patch is a special shape, like a skull or a custom bike, we use a laser to cut the edges. this makes the patch sit flatter against your vest and allows for much more detail in the shape.
how to clean your patches after a long ride.
after a few thousand miles, your patches will get dirty from dust, rain, and bugs. you don’t need to throw your vest in the washing machine. for pvc patches, just use a damp cloth and some mild soap to wipe them clean. for embroidered patches, use a soft toothbrush and a little bit of water to gently scrub away the dirt. never use bleach or harsh chemicals, as these can ruin the thread and the leather. always let your patches air dry away from direct heat.
how to choose the right size for your vest.
getting the size right is important. if a patch is too big, it will not fit on your vest. if it is too small, it looks bad. here is a simple guide.
back patches and rockers.
the large center patch on your back is usually 10 to 12 inches wide. the top and bottom rockers are curved to fit perfectly around that main logo.
front chest patches.
front name tags and rank patches are much smaller. they are usually 3 to 4 inches wide so they fit perfectly right over your front vest pocket.
the best way to put patches on a leather vest.
putting a patch on a leather vest can be tricky. you do not want to ruin your expensive gear.
why you should never iron on leather.
never use a hot iron on a leather vest. the high heat from the iron will burn, melt, and completely ruin the leather.
sewing is the only way.
sewing is the only safe and permanent way to attach a patch to leather. you must use a thick needle and heavy-duty thread. this makes sure the patch stays flat and does not blow off on the highway.

frequently asked questions (faq).
what is the minimum order for motorcycle clubs?
we can handle orders of almost any size. whether you need 50 patches for a whole club or just a small batch of replacement patches for new members, we can get it done.
can you match the colors of our old club patches?
yes. we can match the exact thread colors of your existing club gear. this ensures your new members match the old members perfectly.
how long do custom biker patches take to make?
most custom patch orders take about 7 to 14 days from the day you approve the digital proof. this gives us time to make them right so they are ready for your next big ride.
do you make patches for riding groups outside of houston?
yes. we are based in texas, but we ship custom motorcycle patches to riding clubs all over the country.
can you make patches for individual riders?
yes. while we work with many large motorcycle clubs, we also make patches for independent riders. whether you need a single name tag, a memorial patch for a friend, or a custom design for your own jacket, we can help. you don’t need to be in a club to get professional-quality patches from us.
what is the best backing for a denim vest?
if you wear a denim vest, you have more options than leather riders. you can sew the patch on, which is always the strongest choice. you can also use iron-on backing. denim is made of cotton, so it can handle the heat of a press. however, if you ride at high speeds, we still recommend adding a few stitches around the edges to make sure the wind doesn’t peel the patch off, which is a common reason why cheap iron-on patches peel off.
can you make patches with metallic gold or silver?
yes. we have special metallic threads that look like real gold or silver. these are perfect for anniversary patches or high-ranking club members. metallic thread is a bit stiffer than normal thread, but it gives your vest a premium, high-end look that really stands out in the sun.
