What was once used for mere utility purposes, crossed over into the realm of stylish statement as colorful patches began to serve more of a purpose than simply blocking exposed skin. Items such as flowers, smiley faces, peace signs, and teddy bears were perfect for personalizing that favorite pair of jeans while hiding the battle scars all the same. And for the tourists of the world, an assortment of patches from various locales such as theme parks and vacation resorts could be collected and proudly displayed on the globe-trotted trousers.
Whether boasting one’s accumulated vacation mileage or simply trying to get a little more mileage out a favorite pair of jeans, patches offered the perfect solution - all with just a few stitches and a little artistic inclination.
