How to apply

Place the patch, cover it with a thin cloth, press firmly with heat, then let it cool before handling. For heavy wear, bags, or textured fabric, add a few stitches around the edge.

A Chicago patch in white Old English lettering with a black stitched border, about 4 by 2 inches. City patches earn their place on two things: a travel jacket that collects the places you have actually been, and a bag that quietly says where you are from. This one is sized for both — big enough to read, small enough to sit alongside others.

Building a city collection

If Chicago is going to be the first of several, think about the layout before you press anything. City patches look best in a run — a sleeve, a column down a placket, or a grid on a back panel — and they look accidental when scattered. Leave a patch-width of space between each one so the collection can grow without crowding. It is far easier to add a fourth patch to a planned row than to move the first three.

Fabrics it bonds to

Cotton, cotton blends, denim and cotton canvas. Denim jackets and cotton totes are where most city patches end up, and both press cleanly.

Fabrics to sew instead

Nylon and polyester travel jackets are the catch — packable shells are almost always synthetic and will mark under an iron. Sew those. Same for coated fabric, leather, faux leather, vinyl, and anything printed.

Applying it

Flatten the area with the iron, position the patch, cover with a thin cotton cloth, and press with firm dry heat. Let it cool completely. Travel gear gets handled hard, so stitch the border once it is placed.

Care

Inside out, cold, gentle, low tumble or hang. No bleach or softener. Iron from the reverse only.

Will it work on a packable travel jacket? Almost certainly not with an iron — check the label, and sew if it is nylon.
