Jan 2016 NW Oregon | How to affix embroidered patches to leather without sewing
Any recommendations? I'd like a durable, reasonably weather-resistant way to attach patches without sewing. Removable would be nice. I'm thinking double-sided carpet tape cut about 1/8" undersize. Any thoughts?

One could try Shoe Goo. If it works, though, it likely won't be removable.

There is an iron on stabilizer But you need to be careful about getting the leather too hot or it will distort.

Shoe Goo definitely works. It's permanent for the most part though.

Velcro with (strong) adhesive. You see this on military uniforms these days. |

the velcro patches on uniforms have the "soft" part sewn on.

If you're really insane you just get a patch tattoo'd on. ISTR this is effect in art is called trompe l'oeil. Simulated stray threads and all: ![]() |

You do NOT want to use JB Weld to put a patch on a jacket.It is not flexible. Much better to use Shoe Goo or a product called Magic Goop that is flexible.

WTH? This is what is trending on the forum these days? Wow. Bunch of old ladies talking about sewing patches. Go get yourself an electric bike, an RSD brain bucket, grow a beard, get yourself a BLM t-shirt and talk about "reparations" while hanging out at a brew pub. What a bunch of pussies. Funniest part is that it's Friday night and I got nuthin better to do than comment on this crap. Shit, I should be changin the oil in my Honda, but dam, those plastics are a bitch to take off and put back on. Fuck it, I'll pay someone to do it for me. Can't go anywhere, Covid is spreadin like a disease, no one gives a shit, just got back in my crib after Level 3 evac, football is here, masks are here, RBG is gone, the 1st debate is Tuesday, my truck needs a tune up, and I'm finding it hard to give a shit anymore. I only paid $1.36 for 87 gas a my local Safeway yesterday for my truck with our points rewards, so as long as I can have cheap gas, I don't give a shit if Oklahoma falls in a giant sink hole because of all the fracking there. Fuck, I feel like a Dennis Miller run-on....
