Thanks dude! Just ironed 3 patches onto my riding jacket, high heat, bit o' steam and 90 seconds under a handkerchief worked out great! Greetings from Germany!
I think the most important point is where you should put on patches and where to avoid, especially on a jacket since it has sleeve and your arm movement affects parts of the jacket to pull and crease, vest is so much easier since it has no sleeve. on a jacket I would only patch on the upper sleeve area since there is no twisting happening there, your lower arm has 2 bones that can twist, and the jacket should move along with it unhindered putting on thick patch will either hinder the movement or putting pressure to the jacket shell, on the body I think only the pectoral area is safe for patching on the front, and the whole back is pretty safe for patching , basically if you have a worn jacket with marks of its creases around articulation points, avoid putting on patches where there are creases forming or at least put on small oval or round patches if you must place it on such areas avoid patches with pointy corners.
Wasn't a fan of patches on my motorcycle jackets until I saw yours on this video. I was just looking to put a U.S. flag on my upper sleeve, but may add some others now. Thank you.
I believe it would, but you'll want to be very careful about heat on the poly/nylon material of flight jacket. A small hobby iron that can focus the heat to the patch (and only the patch) might be a good choice. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching! I really don't think so. It takes both heat and pressure. A regular clothes iron works, but they're often too big and not "targeted" enough.
Great video thanks & good to see it going onto a fabric bike jacket. The only concern I have is wether this would damage the breathable waterproof membrane between the outer & inner skins. Does anyone know ?
I would guess it is not "breathing" through the areas covered by patches as the adhesive is plastic-like. It does remain water resistant however. This is my cold weather jacket, so I don't care. In rain I wear another waterproof layer over it. For hot weather I have a mesh jacket with no patches. Thanks for watching!
Hi 👋 i have a question cause my son wants me to attach some patches in his backpack and it's polyester is it possible to put some patches? And if you know how , please do a video 😊
LifeofAgnes Thanks for watching. What kind of patches? Iron on? Sew on? The former will have a backing that feels like plastic. The latter feels like fabric on the back.
omg thanks for the response . its iron on btw. or should i just buy a fabric glue to attach the patch cause i think if i iron the polyester bag im afraid it'll melt. sorry if i asked this question i just dont know about this things .
LifeofAgnes Then you can follow the same procedure, just try to use a small iron as I have to avoid applying heat directly to the polyester as it will melt easy. Put the heat on the patch only. You may want to start at 30 seconds first. If that doesn't do it add 15 seconds until it's stuck. You can always add heat time, but you undo melting the polyester. You could also cut out a piece of cotton material to go around the patch to act as as barrier between your iron and the polyester. If you do that, you may be able to use a normal laundry iron. Hope that helps!
Urban Monk TV ok cool thank you for the tips pray for me that i don’t ruin his new backpack. I literally just bought this bag today and all the patches came last week . Thank you sooo much for the help .
Thank you for watching. Yes with fabric, not sure with leather. I'd guess it would work with suede leather, but not so well with the smooth leather that is typical in motorcycle jackets. If it were me I'd sew them on leather.
I can't say for certain, but I don't think it would bond as well. It's the porosity of the material that the glue melts into, and most leathers aren't as porous fabrics. I may be proven wrong - I often am. Thanks for watching!
@@thekenjirosangaarena Without seeing the faux leather you're describing, I'd have to guess no. It all comes down to permeability of the surface. You want some level of porousness for the hot glue to flow into to bond the pieces together. Hope that answer helps. Thanks for watching!
Yes, absolutely! I find it helpful to push the needle through with a needle nose pliers if the materialis stiff. Saves pokes in my fingers. Thanks for watching!
Sorry the small iron I have doesn't have marked graduations on the temperature dial. What I can say is I've set it to the highest setting. I hope that helps.
What about leather jackets I have a Cafe racer full leather jacket would this still work...( Iron on) also does sew on ruin the jacket? In terms of safety etc
Thanks for watching! I would guess iron on would be less effective at sticking to leather, but I don't see how sewing patches on leather would affect safety significantly. The "safety" of leather lies mainly in it's resistance to tearing, which I think added material of a patch would only help, and the fact that it "slides" on asphalt and pavement, thus reducing how much violent turning occurs in a slide. Essentially leather doesn't roll, it slides. I dont know how patches would affect this sliding property.

Great! Glad to hear it went well for you. Hello from California!
Really useful instructions. Thanks.
Thank you for watching!
That intro is fantastic and so REAL I appreciate that alot
Thanks for watching!
@@UrbanMonkTV you're welcome and thank you sir!
Hi thanks for the video. Very helpful as I’ve always wondered about putting patches on my textile jacket. Safe riding to you, friend.
Thank you for watching! Best.

Thanks for watching and for throwing in your good insights for the benefit of others.
I don't own a clothes Iron and was hoping to find out if a Monokote iron was hot enough. Thanks, I will use the same Iron you used.
Yes, it'll work. Thanks for watching!
Very helpful! I can’t wait to add my new patches to my new jacket now!
Thanks for watching!
I like the Tibetan flag behind you.
Thanks for watching!

Cool video & jacket!
Will that work the same in a MA-1 flight jacket? Thanks in advanced friend.
I believe it would, but you'll want to be very careful about heat on the poly/nylon material of flight jacket. A small hobby iron that can focus the heat to the patch (and only the patch) might be a good choice. Thanks for watching!
speed and strength👍
could a hair dryer acheive the same results? im not allowed near hot things
Thanks for watching! I really don't think so. It takes both heat and pressure. A regular clothes iron works, but they're often too big and not "targeted" enough.
@@UrbanMonkTV ok, cheers

Helpful video, anyway how to remove patch from the vest?
Just heat it again and remove, but the hot glue will remain in the surface some. Thanks for watching.
@@UrbanMonkTV Thanks👍
With the embroidery thread I use you cannot apply the iron directly on it or it will melt the whole thing.
Thanks for watching. I use the press cloth to help protect. It is difficult for most people to discern between different thread types on a patch.
Nice video, where did you buy that small iron from? What is it called? I couldn’t find on amazon. Can you please share where you got it from?
Thanks for watching. It's a hobby iron. Like this one... www.amazon.com/dp/B0006N6Y0Q/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_HV80Eb438XVNM
Urban Monk TV thanks for sharing 👍

How did it turned out ? I was also searching for this exact tutorial video for my textile jacket.
What material is your jacket made from exactly?
Thick denier polyester. Thanks for watching.
@@UrbanMonkTV thanks so much!!
Real nice. Does this work with leather and fabric?
Thank you for watching. Yes with fabric, not sure with leather. I'd guess it would work with suede leather, but not so well with the smooth leather that is typical in motorcycle jackets. If it were me I'd sew them on leather.
thanks a lot
Thanks for watching!
Can this work on Down Jackets, nylon material?
The nylon would not handle the heat of the iron. Sorry, I don't recommend.
Does the same procedure work on leather?
I can't say for certain, but I don't think it would bond as well. It's the porosity of the material that the glue melts into, and most leathers aren't as porous fabrics. I may be proven wrong - I often am. Thanks for watching!
I did mine, but I'd prefer to go to an ironer
@@thegreatmonster2360 Did it work dude? I have a faux leather jacket
@@UrbanMonkTV Does it work on a faux leather jacket?

thnx for this video ! :)
Thanks for watching!
I bought an Iron-on patch not too long ago and didn’t know it was iron-on. Can it still be sewed as a regular patch?
Yes, absolutely! I find it helpful to push the needle through with a needle nose pliers if the materialis stiff. Saves pokes in my fingers. Thanks for watching!
Sorry, can i know the tempreture set on iron
Sorry the small iron I have doesn't have marked graduations on the temperature dial. What I can say is I've set it to the highest setting. I hope that helps.
@@UrbanMonkTV thn what about the white cloth? What if ...it burns?
@@OyeShubham Thank you for watching. A true pressing cloth should handle even the highest temperatures from an iron for a minute or so.
