DigitEMB Limited Edition Funny Iron On Patches Cool Novelty Patch Jacket

Two words, red on white, and a straight face. LIMITED EDITION in bold red slab serif on white twill, bordered in red. It is a retro type treatment - the sort of thing stamped on a crate or a collector's box - and it works because it is played entirely deadpan. At 3 by 1.3 inches it is a small strip, and that is deliberate. It fits a cap panel, a jean pocket, a jacket cuff or a bag strap, in the spots where a big square patch would shout. The lettering is dense satin stitch on woven twill. The heat-activated backing bonds to cotton, denim and canvas with five full minutes of firm heat - the single most common reason an iron-on fails is that people give it thirty seconds. For a cap or jacket you wear constantly, stitch the border. Made by digitemb, who make embroidered patches and nothing else.

• LIMITED EDITION, IN BOLD RED SLAB LETTERING - Two lines of heavy red serif type on a white twill rectangle with a red border. Confident, retro, and legible from across the room.

• FUNNY PATCHES THAT ARE NOT TRYING TOO HARD - The joke is in the deadpan. Applied to a jacket or a beat-up cap, "Limited Edition" does the work without a punchline.

• IRON ON TO CAPS, JEANS, JACKETS AND BAGS - Heat-activated backing bonds to cotton, denim and canvas with about five minutes of firm, steady heat. Sew the border for anything in daily rotation.

• A COMPACT 3 X 1.3 INCH STRIP - Small enough for a cap panel, a jean pocket, a jacket cuff or a bag strap, where a larger patch would be too much.

• A GIFT FOR SOMEONE WHO IS ONE OF ONE - Birthdays, retirements, or a friend who has earned the label.
