Quick answer: attach the patch to any garment or gear with a loop-side Velcro panel — jackets, softshells, combat shirts, backpacks and tactical bags. It also works well on display panels for collections or commemorations.

In most cases, choose the high-visibility version for display and ceremonial use, and the low-profile subdued version for tactical, outdoor or operational contexts. Select the desired variant from the product options when ordering.

Care and notes

Basic care keeps the patch looking sharp and preserves the Velcro attachment for long-term use.

• Remove the patch before machine washing the garment where possible.
• Wash garments gently and at low temperature; avoid bleach and strong detergents.
• Air dry; avoid high-heat tumble drying to protect embroidery and Velcro.
• Store flat or on a display panel to prevent edge deformation.
