These embroidered state shield patches are high quality, sturdy, and machine washable. At approximately 3 1/8'" x 3 1/2", this patch is the perfect accent piece to clothing, bags, hats, and more. It is large enough to showcase its detailed design without overpowering whatever it is on. Colors will not fade or run if they get wet although dry cleaning or machine washing is not recommended. We know not all patches are created equal. Our Embroidered Patches contains an iron-on adhesive, allowing you to easily attach it after purchase. There’s no need to create additional work for yourself. For additional security, or for use on garments which cannot be ironed, these patches can be sewn on.
