I have a cool Harley Owners Group patch that I got when I bought my new motorcycle, and I wanna put it on my Harley leather jacket. What's the best way to do this?? Sew, or can I just iron it on?? Please help!!

Well, you could iron it, but then your going to have to get a whole bunch of patches and then someone to sew then into the big hole you've baked into your jacket, and that's only if you can remove the iron from the jacket. So, no you cannot iron it.

You can go to tandy leather and use an ax all to use a specialilized needle and thread. I have a jacket 28 years old from JC Whitney with a lot of patches (leather and pre fab) that still is bad to the bone. Learn some leather craft or have a friend or have it done by someone familiar with leather work,

Just go ahead and sew it on there, but use a serious needle and thread the same color as the patch has around the edges. A thimble will help here, because the leather is tough to pierce. Please understand, this jacket will keep this patch, because removal means having a ton of holes where the patch used to be. Of course you can always cover those holes with a bigger patch! Good luck and keep the shiny side up!

Well, I wouldn't put a HOG patch on my leather, but when I have patches that I want on it, I go to a leather worker. They have the correct sewing machine for that job, and as long as they use the correct color thread, it won't show. Anyone who specializes in leather work will be able to do that, and fix your other s'hit too. Do NOT try to iron the thing on.

Sorry, putting a hot iron on leather will fry it. Sewing isn't really an option either, as the stitches will show, and you'll wind up with holes in your jacket.
Best way is to take it to a shoemaker and ask him to glue it on. They have special glues that they use for leather. Sometimes they have to put pressure on it while it sets, and they have all the facilities to do that.

go to a sewing supplies store (fabric store) or a hobby shop like Hobby Lobby or Michaels. There is a product called Patch Attach that is made exactly for this use. Place an extra layer of material like a sheet or tshirt over the patch so the iron doesn't burn the patch.

DON'T SEW IT. That will ruin your leathers and create weak spots. You will get tears and damp spots.
There's some stuff called "liquid thread" that they sell at fabric stores. It's basically a very strong polyurethane glue that is washer-proof. Works real well on fabric and leather.
You put it on the back of the patch and let it dry overnight. It comes off with "Un-Stick" polyurethane dissolver, if you decide that HOGs are POSs.
