band patches

Concert souvenir fabric

Band patches are embroidered or printed fabric emblems displaying a musical group's name or logo, typically sewn or ironed onto denim jackets, vests, or bags.

They're especially associated with heavy metal, punk, and rock subcultures, where collecting and displaying patches signals musical taste and subcultural identity: His battle vest was covered in band patches.
