How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: press the patch firmly onto a clean loop panel (chest pocket or ID panel) for immediate recognition of rank. In most cases, the patch is used on operational clothing where a low‑profile, non‑reflective appearance is required.

Apply to standard loop panels on uniforms, polos and tactical garments. The Velcro® backing allows rapid replacement with name or unit patches as mission needs change, and it preserves the garment better than permanent sewing.

Care and notes

Simple care preserves embroidery and Velcro® performance; follow these practical steps.

• Remove the patch before washing the garment to protect threads and hook backing.
• Clean the hook side periodically to remove lint and dust for best adhesion.
• Avoid direct high‑heat ironing on the embroidery; if needed, place a cloth over the patch.
• Sale reserved for identified military personnel; collectors must hold the required license (ex art. 28 TULPS).
