Wanna Trade Patches

Embroidered patches have come a long way. While their roots can be traced back to the thread-stitched fabric decorations of various ancient cultures, their modern American military use reportedly began during World War I and became commonplace by World War II. Originally used to designate units within the different branches, patches nowadays are used for everything from identification to good ol’ fashioned in-jokes. This issue’s collection exemplifies this range in aesthetics.
