Leather Patches…faves, care or lack there of.

[Karol]

@Mizmazzle You are not alone! It just took me a while to reach this post.

I treat the patches like I would footwear or really any leather thing - as much brushing and as often as the time allows.
And for conditioning I tend to go more and more for Obenauf’s Heavy Duty LP. In the past I used Saphir Renovateur but it had the tendency to leave the residual heavy wax inside patch carvings.

At present my favorite patch is one from an oversized pair of IH-888S-21 that I been washing in increasingly warm water until reaching 95 degrees Celsius in last wash.
The color and the leather structure changed so much.

@Karol oh sweet man. Dig that transformation. All kinda of tones and richness.

Great thread @Mizmazzle

I love the octopus 888 patches

Here’s my thrashed 21oz patch, not much care taken except some mink oil here

The new 888 SBG patch is already a favorite.

Also love the UHR patch. Still looking pretty good - has only seen water twice

i started out with Obenauffs on my 1st IH666XHS and again with IHxVS777S21s which caused them to darken way quicker than i wanted and in the case of the VSs made the image illegible. i began using Bicks4 on the rest and have been very pleased with its treatment. been a while since i’ve done a group photo so will get that done soon. but yes. patches influence my purchases. ‍️

666 ducks have one of my favorite. I made sure to confirm the patch when ordering

Also like the slub tag

[Mizmazzle]

Hell yeah guys!! Love these additions. I’m pretty stoked the new generation of patches are just pressed and don’t have any pigment. Think they age really awesome that way.

I hope whenever the 634 ducks show up, the patch will have a similar graphic. That said, slightly a bummer that a different number will result in a notably less satanic duck

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture speaking of satanic…this is my all time favorite patch. That cattle skull is fucking rad! Sadly, I don’t have this patch on any of my own pants. Bought these very small jorts off my buddy just so I could have the patch. Thinking about sewing it onto a hat.

Photo taken spontaneously this morning. Never be too careful but I really like this patch! The design. The evo. IHXB01-UHR.

Fun thread @Mizmazzle Here are a couple of my most worn patches

[SKT]

And I do love “The Devil’s Duck”

[Giles]

That last one is a good one because no way should that patch be on a pair of 777's. It's the original 666 patch

[SKT]

@Giles ha! Instant collectible

[Mizmazzle]

@SKT yup!! Love that one!!
