Guys.... just wondering.... I recently bought a new vest and was starting to look for some patches to start putting on. Got a few ideas of what i want and things i like. My buddy has an " i hate everyone" patch that i totally agree with and plan on buying, along with a gadsden "dont tread on me" patch and a few others... Heres my question/dilemma... are patches supposed to be one of those things that you pick up "along the way" kind of like tattos? Or are they a sort of put whatever you want whenever you see it type of deal? Aaaaand, is it bad/goofy to get a patch that another riding buddy has? I mean, im going to pretty much do whatever the hell i wanna do... but i just wanted to be informed either way. Cam

 

As long as its not a club patch, do what you want.

 

I don't wear patches, but I do wear a cool bracelet. It is important to me, it means if I am given penicillin I will die.




Actually, I don't wear a bracelet or am allergic to penicillin, just thought it was funny. :+)

 

Depends on the look you're going for and if you want a story with each patch. I will say I regret a couple on my vest for the few that I have (which I hardly wear) and don't like the big eagle on the back of my First Gear jacket as much as I used to after 9 years or so.

 

Some patches I have are earned, some are commemorative, some are just cause I like them.

Wear what is important to you.

 

Agree, wear what you want. It seems to be neater if there is a story behind it, like where you were, something stupid that happened and so forth. I for one will be getting some patches because I just plain like them but will be on the lookout for ones when I am out riding so that it can remind me of the time I had...

 

If you hate everybody then why would you ask advice from people you hate?

 

An old biker told me one time "son remember one thing about your vest, it is your sign post. I can tell instantly what the wearer is about by looking at his vest and patches."

 

These are the best patches to put on it.......
