Regimental Patches

Patches are used in the military and cadet forces as a way of identification. Whether as to identify by way of showing your name, your country’s flag or unit or battalion, Active Gear has it all. They are done to your specification at the highest quality. Patches are generally ironed on, glued on or sewed on to uniform, vest, rucksack, armlet and combat helmet. They can be worn on the upper sleeves of uniform jacket or shirt and the front of uniform jacket.
