- Smaller sizes (around 3–4 inches) are suitable for hats, front chest placement, or small accessories

How to Use the Iron-On Patch
This eagle embroidered patch includes an iron-on backing for easy application to most fabrics that can safely handle medium to high heat, such as denim, cotton, and many blends.
- Preheat a household iron to a high temperature setting suitable for the garment (typically “cotton” or similar) with no steam.
- Place the garment or item on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Position the patch with the adhesive side down on the desired area of fabric.
- Cover the patch with a thin pressing cloth or piece of cotton fabric to protect the embroidery.
- Press the iron firmly over the patch area for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying steady, even pressure.
- Turn the garment inside out, if possible, and apply the iron to the reverse side for additional bonding for another 15–30 seconds.
- Allow the garment and patch to cool completely before handling or wearing.
Recommended for Extra Durability
- For heavy-duty use or frequent washing, it is recommended to sew around the edges after ironing.
- Use a sewing machine or hand-stitch with strong thread to reinforce all sides of the patch.
- Combining heat application with stitching provides maximum longevity on workwear, motorcycle vests, and tactical gear.
