Just curious about this patch... I'm a huge fan of cheech and chong and would like to put it on a vest, but at the same time dont want to disrespect anyone! Peaceful hippie just looking for advice.

I`d be very careful about that one. Do your own diligent research before using that patch.

My advise is ... if you are not a member of that club, leave it alone. You can get leaf patches almost anywhere and not get stomped for it.

This is the patch from Cheech and Chong movie, Up In Smoke. The original patch had "TC" (Tommy Chong") instead of MC.
It's not an actual club but please don't put that on your cut as it does say MC and it does claim territory. I'd try to find an original with the TC logo, If not you can most certainly have one embroidered.


Have a great holiday.

But;
a. it's not a real club
b. it doesn't depict a Š, ™ or a Ž
c. it's not a 3 piece patch
d. it doesn't claim a state

It does have an MC though. So make the square a circle and change the MC to your initials or RC, FTW, HD or FU and rock on. Then again, why would some cuckoo who is not in a club want to tack a big-*** patch on his back that makes a really nice target for some other cuckoo can get a bug up his butt and act out his aggression???

Just wear one of your old Military patches.
No one can say anything about them.
(If you have to wear a patch for whatever reason...........)

The Roaches patch is a fun classic, love how it still sparks nostalgia.
