Custom patch is a piece of fabric, soft PVC, leather or vinyl bearing a name, logo or message of some sort, serving as a miniature billboard for whatever message is on it. It can be something as simple as a person’s name. Meanwhile it could make a statement that is political, provocative or playful, or it can show membership of specific agencies, such as police, sheriff, fire department, emergency services etc. Custom patch becomes a representation of the person who created it, and the person wearing it.
