Harley-Davidson Police 100 Years Big Patch Black & Grey – Embroidered Biker Rückenpatch

Add an anniversary-themed centrepiece to your patch arrangement with this Harley-Davidson Police embroidered big patch. An eagle sits above a Motor Harley-Davidson Cycles shield, with a broad Police banner across the centre and a large number 1 below.

Grey and pale stitching defines the ornamental badge shape against a black background. Side banners display 1908 and 2008, while the lower curve reads 'Helping to Protect and Serve for 100 Years'. Measuring 207 × 227 mm, the tall design makes a prominent feature on a suitable jacket, vest or fabric bag. The anniversary wording and dates are design elements, not a claim about the patch's production date.

Step-by-Step Iron-On Instructions

1. Check the garment care label and patch backing instructions. Proceed only if an iron-on adhesive backing is present and the fabric is heat-compatible. Do not iron leather, coated or heat-sensitive materials unless their manufacturer permits it.
2. Lay the garment flat on a firm, heat-resistant surface. Position the eagle at the top and smooth the fabric beneath the entire badge, including the projecting side banners.
3. Cover the patch with a thin cotton pressing cloth. Switch off steam and select only the temperature permitted by both the garment label and backing instructions.
4. Apply firm, even pressure without sliding the iron. Follow the backing's specified pressing time and temperature. Work across this large badge in sections as instructed, covering the eagle, central badge, banner ends and lower curve.
5. Allow everything to cool completely before gently checking the edges. Follow backing instructions for any additional pressing, or reinforce the outline with stitching where appropriate.

Sew-On Option

Use a needle and thread suitable for the garment. Stitch around the black outer border, carefully following the wing contours, side banner ends and rounded lower edge. Keep the fabric flat and avoid catching unwanted pockets or lining layers. Sewing is an alternative for fabrics unsuitable for ironing and can reinforce adhesive attachment on this large patch.

Care

Follow garment and patch backing care instructions. Check the attachment before washing, avoid scrubbing the embroidery and protect projecting edges from snagging. Never place a hot iron directly on the embroidered face. This decorative patch is not protective riding equipment. Consult the garment manufacturer before modifying technical motorcycle clothing.
