An embroidered patch does not peel off in the first wash, and it brings substance, relief, a thickness that printing will never have. Our aisle works the Che's face in embroidery: the Korda portrait in black and white thread, the beret with its red star on its own, a profile ringed by a thick outline, a round patch with the name embroidered, a rectangular version with a short quote.
Two fixings depending on the model: iron on, pressed with the iron, or removable hook and loop, handy on a backpack or a tactical jacket.
How do you sew or iron on a Che Guevara patch?
For the iron on version, lay the garment on a hard surface, position the patch, cover it with a thin cotton cloth and press a hot iron without steam for around twenty seconds. Let it cool fully before moving the piece. On jeans that get worn and washed often, add a discreet backstitch around the edge and the embroidery will last for years. Avoid the iron directly on technical fabrics and fine synthetics, which scorch.
What goes with a revolutionary patch?
On a denim jacket, one large patch on the back and two small ones on the sleeves make a readable composition. Che Guevara pins finish things off on the lapels and pockets. Che Guevara stickers carry the theme beyond textiles. To go wider than the Che, see communist patches. Everything bearing his likeness is on the Che Guevara page.
Why does the Korda portrait embroider so well?
Because it is an image of contrasts, almost without halftones: the beret, the star, the hair and the gaze hold together in a few dark masses. Embroidery, which works in zones of thread, is made for exactly this kind of image. Our article on who Che Guevara was looks back at that 1960 photograph and at the man it shows.
