How to Style Your Patch

This It Was Never A Phase patch is designed for those who wear their identity with pride. For a classic 2000s emo look, iron it onto the strap of a well-worn messenger bag or the front pocket of a black hoodie. If you are building a gothic battle jacket, this rectangular design fits perfectly above a breast pocket or centered on a denim vest’s shoulder blade. It also pairs exceptionally well with our other monochrome slogan patches, like our Hell Is Other People Patch.

Application Instructions: Iron-On & Sew-On Guide

As shown in the high-quality finish, this patch features a professional heat-seal backing. Follow these steps for the best results:

Iron-On Method:

1. Set your iron to the “Cotton” setting (approx. 180°C–200°C) with no steam.

2. Pre-heat the area of the fabric where the patch will be placed.

3. Place the patch and cover it with a thin pressing cloth (like a pillowcase or tea towel).

4. Press firmly for 30 seconds, then flip the garment inside out and press the back for another 20 seconds.

5. Allow it to cool completely before moving the fabric.

Sew-On Method (Recommended): For items that are frequently washed or made of heavy materials like leather or thick denim, we recommend a simple whip stitch or running stitch around the silver embroidered border. This ensures your patch remains a permanent part of your collection, no matter how much “real life” it sees.
