Collection: Gothic Patches

Gothic patches give your clothing a voice – at EASURE you will find Gothic patches that bring dark art, occultism and clear statements directly to your jacket, vest or bag.

Why Gothic Patches Are More Than Just Patches

A good Gothic patch acts like a small poster on fabric. It tells you who you are, which bands, symbols and attitudes you celebrate – without you saying a word.

Gothic patches are right for you if you:

• transform your vest, denim or faux leather jacket into a personal work of art
• you fill your backpack, your tote bag or your battle jacket with symbols and dark art
• You visibly wear anti-fascist messages
• Looking for sustainable, long-lasting details instead of cheap fast-fashion decor?

In our Gothic Patches category you will find designs that are deeply rooted in the Gothic, Dark Art and Metal scene – from Baphomet to pentagrams to dark lettering and occult symbolism.

Types of Gothic Patches at EASURE

Not every patch works the same. You combine different sizes, shapes, and designs to turn your clothes into a mobile gallery.

Small statement patches & logos

Small Gothic patches act as dark accents:

• Perfect for collars, chest pockets and sleeves
• Ideal for filling gaps between larger patches
• Good for subtle looks on backpacks or beanies.

Large back patches & central motifs

Large Gothic patches dominate the look of your jacket or vest:

• suitable as the central back panel of your Battle Jacket
• heavily on the backs of jeans or faux leather jackets
• create a clear focus – the theme of your outfit

Metal patches & band-inspired designs

Many of our designs also appeal to metalheads looking for metal patches :

• Skulls, goats, occult sigils and dark art designs
• Symbolic motifs instead of clumsy copy-pasted band logos
• ideal for mixed costumes from Gothic, Doom, Black and Darkwave

You combine the patches with our shirts from the Gothic Shirts category to create outfits that match from head to toe.

Motifs: Occult, Dark Art, anti-fascist

EASURE isn't about random graphics. Gothic patches convey attitudes, aesthetics, and symbols imbued with history and spirit.

Occult & mystical symbols

Our patches incorporate motifs you may recognize from witchcraft, occultism, and dark art:

• Pentagrams, Baphomet insignia, sigils
• Coffins, skulls, bats
• Symbols from rituals, tarot, and witchcraft.

You can find more background information on symbols such as the pentagram, occultism, or Baphomet in our wiki pages, for example in the article about the pentagram or about occultism .

Horror, Vampires & Dark Cinema

Do you love horror movies, the undead, and vampire romance? Many motifs draw on this visual world:

• Bats, coffins, cemetery scenes
• References to classics like Nosferatu or Dracula
• morbid dark art illustrations

Anti-fascist & political statements

EASURE takes a clear stance against the far right. Some of their Gothic patches combine dark aesthetics with unambiguous anti-fascist messages.

• clear anti-Nazi statements

Step by step: How to plan your patch project

1. Select base
Choose a piece of clothing that you wear regularly: a denim jacket, a vest, a faux leather jacket, a hoodie, or a bag. You'll find many suitable basics in our Gothic clothing category.

2. Choose a topic
Consider what direction your Gothic patches should take:

• Occult & mystical (pentagram, Baphomet, witchcraft) – matching our Witchcraft collection
• Horror & Vampire – harmonizes with the motifs from horror and vampires
• Political & anti-fascist statements
• A mix of Gothic, Metal and Darkwave

3. Try out the layout
First, loosely place all the Gothic patches onto the garment. Experiment with:

• Symmetry vs. Chaos
• Patch clusters on shoulders or chest
• clearly focused back motif

4. Determine the order
Start with the largest patch. Then build medium-sized designs around it. Fill in any gaps with small symbol patches and metal patches .

5. Secure permanently
Once the layout is correct, you sew or iron the patches on (tips below).

Once you've finished your first patch project, you'll often want more. That's why you'll find even more designs in our EASURE Patches collection.

Gothic Patches vs. Pins, Chokers & Co.: Combine your look

A strong look thrives on layers – both visual and symbolic.

Gothic Patches + Pins
You combine patches with Gothic merchandise such as pins and badges:

• Patches as a base surface
• Gothic pins as metallic accents on top
• You can find special motifs like ghosts, cats, or Grim Reapers in the Gothic Pins category.

Gothic patches + choker & jewelry
Your upper body will remain thematically consistent if your jewelry incorporates the patch theme:

• Pentagram patch + pentagram ring from the Gothic Rings collection
• Baphomet patch + goat or sigil ring like the Sigil Coffin Ring
• Occult symbols and necklaces from the Gothic necklaces category

Gothic Patches + Tights & Trousers
You can make a statement with the following on your lower body:

• destroyed fishnet tights from the Gothic tights collection
• Gothic trousers with D-rings, straps and decorative patches ( Gothic trousers )

This creates a harmonious look from shoe to collar.

Care, durability & upcycling with Gothic patches

Gothic patches also help you to live more sustainably and wear clothes for longer.

Upcycling instead of throwing away

A tear, a stain, a stitched area? Perfect place for a patch:

• Stain on the sleeve: small patch over it
• Thinning fabric at the elbow: elbow patch
• Old backpack: new designs on the front

This is how you transform old items into cherished pieces with a story. This aligns with our stance against senseless overproduction and complements our hand-printed organic textiles from the Organic Gothic Shirts category.

Washing & Care

To ensure your Gothic patches last a long time:

• Turn clothes inside out before washing.
• Use a laundry bag for jackets with many pins or metal parts.
• Avoid using aggressive bleach or extremely high temperatures

Patches on felt or particularly delicate fabric benefit from hand washing or a gentle wash cycle.

Sewing, ironing, combining – tips for attaching Gothic patches

1. Sewing – maximum hold
For battle jackets that can withstand a lot:

• Secure patches with pins.
• Sew close to the edge using durable yarn.
• Double-stitch particularly stressed areas (shoulder, backpack straps).

2. Ironing – quick style
For patches with an iron-on layer:

• Place the textile smoothly on a firm surface.
• Position the patch and cover it with a cotton cloth.
• iron with pressure and high heat
• Allow to cool and add short seams if necessary.

3. Combination of both
For heavily used items like backpacks or Gothic suspenders (if you're upgrading suspenders with patches), both are worthwhile: iron first, then fix at critical points.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gothic Patches

What's the best way to apply Gothic patches?

For maximum hold, sew Gothic patches securely all the way around with strong thread. Secure the patch beforehand with pins or fabric glue to prevent shifting. For patches with an iron-on backing, ironing combined with a few stitches at the corners will ensure long-lasting durability, especially on jackets, bags, or battle jackets.

Do Gothic patches adhere to faux leather or synthetic fabrics?

Sewn Gothic patches are more suitable for faux leather, nylon, or very smooth surfaces than iron-on versions. Heat can damage some faux leather jackets. Test the temperature on an inconspicuous area and, if in doubt, opt for the classic sewing method. Both sewn and iron-on patches work well on backpacks, gym bags, or Gothic merchandise made of sturdy fabric.

How do I properly wash clothes with Gothic patches?

Turn your clothes inside out, close zippers, and wash at moderate temperatures on a gentle cycle. Avoid harsh friction, aggressive detergents, and high spin speeds. This will help keep both the Gothic patches and prints on shirts or hoodies from the Gothic Hoodies category looking their best for a long time.

Do Gothic patches only go with jackets, or also with other Gothic accessories?

Gothic patches don't just enhance jackets. You can attach them to tote bags, backpacks, caps, beanies, trouser legs, pillowcases, or even large scarves. Combined with Gothic accessories like hair clips, chokers, and pins, they create a complete look that's cohesive from head to toe.

Which motifs are particularly popular for Gothic patches?

Popular motifs include pentagrams, goat heads, coffins, bats, skeletons, occult sigils, and dark lettering. Many fans combine such Gothic patches with themes from witchcraft, horror, and vampires – inspired by collections like Witchcraft , Horror , or Vampire . This creates a personal mix of symbolism, dark art, and subculture references.

Are Gothic patches suitable for beginners in the Gothic scene?

Yes. Gothic patches are one of the most accessible ways to experiment with Gothic clothing. You start with a patch on your favorite jacket or bag and gradually work your way up to more designs. Combined with simple black basics from the Gothic shirt or clothing category, you create a look that appears authentic without seeming like you're in costume.
