cut-off with C.O.B.B. patch on back, assorted other patches that only have meanings to me, most were given to me by friends over the years..Leather jacket also has patches on it, again mostly gifts from friends, some go way, way back, I did give in one night in Sturgis and got a big eagle on the back of jacket,,beats me why, just seemed like the thing to do at the time.. No Hog patch though.[sm=biker.gif]

I can't bring myself to. My wife and kids gave me a real nice F.X.R.G. and I just can't do it. Insted, I have a favorite denim shirt they go on. Wear it under the coat, weather permitting.

I sewed on the large reflective HD bar and sheild on my armored mesh jacket so I reduce the instance of getting rammed at night and plan on the vintage #1 on the shoulder.

I'll never sew anything onto my jacket. It cost too much and want to keep it plain for other use. However here is my vest that I wear over the jacket in cold weather and by itself if it's not too hot.

I don't wear the denim one anymore... unless I shed about twenty pounds.

i've got a vest with a few patches but don't ever wear it....

the gayest thing i've ever seen was on my last trip, at a truck stop i saw "biker" vest with a bunch of patches already sewn on. That is SOOOO lame. A vest (if you wear one) should tell your own story, about rallies, meets, rides, lost brothers, personal expression etc.
Not some stupid instant biker thing.
If you bought one of these, shame on you poser.

They have the instant vests with patches at rallies too. Next time you see them for sale, take a good look at them. Then go out on the street and see how many you can spot... it's fun... LMAO
