Collection: Pins & Badges

A pin may seem small, but it directly expresses your attitude. With a Gothic pin from EASURE, you make a clear statement: Dark aesthetic, subculture, a statement – ​​visible on your jacket, denim, vest, backpack, or beanie.

Why a gothic pin is more than just decoration

A Gothic pin doesn't replace a shirt or a hood – it frames them. It complements your outfit in places where fabric has long been the dominant material: collar, lapel, pocket flap, backpack strap.

What a pin can do in your Gothic wardrobe:

• A statement in seconds: Pin it on, done – symbolism without a big styling ritual.
• As flexible as you: Today a Bat-Pin, tomorrow a Sigil, the day after tomorrow an anti-fascist statement.
• Low budget, high impact: With just a few pins, you can completely transform your look.
• Subtle or loud message: From tiny occult symbols to clearly legible slogans.

Do you already wear Gothic shirts from our shop? Then get pins that either complement or contrast your designs. A minimalist shirt with a striking Gothic pin instantly looks more curated than "just black." Check out our Gothic shirts and combine them with matching pins.

EASURE Gothic Pins: Aesthetics, Symbolism, Attitude

At EASURE you can see different lines of Gothic pins , which are based on different styles – from cute occult to rough and edgy.

Typical themes of our pins:

• Bats, ravens, skulls
• Occult seals, pentagram variations, demon icons
• Dark art motifs based on our print designs
• Clearly recognizable statements against fascism and exclusion

Our pins fit perfectly with the rest of the EASURE world: dark, graphically clean, no carnival goth. In the pin category, you'll find designs that harmonize with our Dark Art accessories on the homepage – a look at the EASURE Gothic online shop will show you how everything visually connects.

Motifs & Materials: What makes your Gothic pin special

Every pin makes an impact through three things: shape, surface, and clasp. You value these things if you wear pins not as fast fashion, but as part of your identity.

Popular Gothic motifs as pins

• Bat Pin: Bats are iconic in the Gothic universe. Our Bat Pin combines a classic bat shape with ribbon details – it looks cute, yet remains dark.
• Baphomet Pin: The Baphomet symbol, translated as Baphomet Pin, arrives as a small, wearable sigil. Our Satanic Angel Shirt goes perfectly with it.
• Occult symbols: pentagrams, moon symbols, planchettes, tarot remixes.
• Slogans & Message Pins: Clearly legible messages, often associated with an anti-fascist stance, that fit our AGAINST collection .

Typical material and processing details

Even though pins may appear small, technology matters. Many of our pins utilize classic manufacturing methods that have proven successful in pin design:

• Metal body, partly black nickel-plated or with dark electroplating
• Enamel surfaces for clear contrasts
• Smooth, glossy or brushed surfaces
• Butterfly clasps or brooch plates for secure fastening to fabrics

Our Gothic pins are made of metal and enamel, not flimsy buttons, but durable metal pins that complement your Gothic wardrobe. Do you wear your Gothic pin on denim, faux leather, or heavy hoodie fabric? Then a well-made pin will last significantly longer than improvised buttons.

Styling ideas: How to integrate pins into your Gothic outfits

A pin creates visual anchor points. It sits where an outfit would otherwise appear "empty".

Classic: Gothic pin on jacket, coat & robe

• On the lapel of a blazer, coat or jacket as an eye-catcher
• In groups on the chest pocket of your denim or leather jacket
• Along the front seam or on the hood of your Gothic hoodies
• As a mini-focus on the button placket of a cardigan or shirt

Do you like wearing zippers? A Gothic pin works perfectly next to zipper seams or at chest level on your Gothic zip hoodies .

Upgrade your accessories: caps, beanies, bags

• A single pin on the cuff of your beanie
• Small row of pins along the brim of a cap
• Motif cluster on the front of your backpack
• Mini-statements on the straps of crossbody bags or belt bags

If your outfit is minimalist – for example, a black unisex gothic shirt made of organic cotton – pins draw attention to exactly the areas you want to emphasize. Our gothic unisex shirts are a perfect match, and a striking gothic pin can give them a bolder or more playful edge.

Play together: pins, chokers, necklaces

A pin looks great in combination with other accessories. You can find it in the EASURE shop:

• Chokers that accentuate your neck area
• Bat jewelry like the Bat Necklace
• More dark fashion items in the Gothic Hoodies & Sweatshirts category

This creates a look where your Gothic pin incorporates recurring motifs and visually contracts your silhouette.

Gothic pins for everyday life, club, festival and scene events

You need pins that not only look good on Insta, but can also withstand gigs, clubs, festivals, trams and workdays.

In everyday life

• A small pin on the coat collar subtly darkens office outfits.
• Minimalist pins on a shirt or blouse signal belonging to the scene without breaking the dress code.
• A single Bat or Sigil pin on a simple fanny pack will accompany you throughout the day.

In clubs or at concerts

• Several pins clustered together on your vest, denim or leather jacket.
• Gothic pins on the pockets of unisex Gothic hoodies , giving your look an edge in the semi-darkness.
• Combine them with long-sleeved shirts from our Dark Fashion Long Sleeve Collection to maximize layering effects.

Festival, convention, meeting

• Pins are suitable as small markers for crews and groups.
• Slogans like "Goth against Fascism" reflect an attitude that you can further reinforce with the matching Goth Against Fascism shirt .
• Do you collect merchandise? Then build yourself a mobile gallery on your bag or jacket using pins .

Material, durability & care: How to keep your pin a long-lasting part of your outfit

If you consider your Gothic pin a permanent part of your wardrobe, then material and care play a role.

What to look for in a pin

• Stable back and closure: Nothing is more annoying than lost pins in the mosh pit.
• Neatly finished edges: Prevents snagging on hoodies or tights.
• Durable enamel/coating: So that your design doesn't get scratched after a short time.

Many EASURE pins come with a secure butterfly or brooch clasp that keeps your pin firmly attached to hoodies, shirts, or jackets. This solution is particularly well-suited for heavier fabrics like our Gothic hoodies with back prints .

Care tips for your Gothic pin

• Remove the pin before placing your jacket or backpack in the machine.
• Store unworn pins on a piece of fabric or a corkboard – this will prevent scratches.
• Wipe enamel surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.

Size, placement, and number: How many pins suit your style?

You know how it is: too many details make a look busy, too few details make it seem interchangeable. Balance is key when it comes to pins .

Pin sizes and effect

Pin size	Effect on the outfit	Recommendation
Small (1–2 cm)	subtle, with attention to detail	Collars, beanies, finer fabrics
Medium (2–3 cm)	Clearly legible, but not loud	Lapel, chest pocket, backpack front
Large (3–4 cm+)	Immediately in focus, looks like a mini-print	The central theme, combined with simple clothing

With small Gothic pins, you tend to work with repetition (clusters), while large pins are better suited as solo pieces. For example, combine a larger Baphomet pin with two smaller symbol pins to create a visual focal point.

EASURE: Pins as part of a consistent Gothic look

EASURE was founded in Krefeld in 2022 out of the desire to make Gothic fashion , dark art and a clear attitude wearable in everyday life – without a compromise suitable for the masses.

What you can expect from us:

• Curated selection instead of overload: Every Gothic pin fits into the overall picture of our textiles, jewelry and accessories.
• Small series: Many designs are produced in limited quantities so that your pin doesn't appear everywhere.
• Linked motifs: Pin designs that correspond with hoodies, shirts and accessories – for example, with our organic cotton Gothic shirts or hoodies with back print .

You don't wear clothes for decoration, but as a visual language. Our pins belong to this vocabulary like lines, shapes, and symbols in an image.

Sustainability, slow fashion and pins

EASURE works with organic cotton and small print runs in the textile sector because dark fashion is more than just a season's worth of content. Your pins reflect this philosophy:

• You expand the range of applications for existing parts instead of constantly buying new mass-produced goods.
• A Gothic pin transforms a basic hoodie into a personal piece that you'll wear for years.
• You combine your pins with our sustainable Gothic hoodies or girlie shirts made from organic cotton and build yourself a reusable capsule wardrobe in black.

Gift ideas: Pins for friends, partners, crew

A Gothic pin is perfect as a small gift with a big message.

When a pin fits:

• Mini trophy after surviving a festival together
• Thank you to the band or organizing crew.
• Symbolic confirmation: "You belong to us"
• An addition to a larger gift such as a hoodie or shirt

For example, you can put together a set: a Gothic pin , a dark fashion shirt from our organic cotton shirt collection , and a choker . This creates a complete mini-outfit that fits in a small box.

Here's how to find the perfect gothic pin at EASURE

You've landed in our Gothic Pins category and are browsing intuitively. If you're looking for something specific, a few questions will help you filter the results.

Step 1: Define the symbology

• Do you want an animal motif (bat, crow, wolf)?
• More likely occult symbols (Baphomet, Planchette, Pentagram)?
• Or a clearly legible statement , such as anti-fascist or queer-feminist?

Pins are a particularly good fit for political statements and the AGAINST line, for which you can find matching pieces in the Against Fascism Fashion collection.

Step 2: Plan the size and placement

• Collar, beanie, cap: rather small pins
• Lapel, chest, backpack: medium to large pins
• Battle jacket or cowl: cluster of several motifs

If you already own Gothic zip-up hoodies or dark-fashion hoodies from our range, consider which seams or panels would be best for pins. You can find inspiration in the EASURE Zipper Hoodies category.

Step 3: Combine with your EASURE setup

• Do you love large back prints? Then place small pins on the front so that your back design dominates.
• Do you prefer simple front prints like our Burial13 organic cotton shirts ( Burial13 Shirts )? Then a slightly more eye-catching Gothic pin can serve as an additional focal point.

Ultimately, what matters is that your pin doesn't look random, but like deliberately placed ink on skin: clear, legible, connected to you.

Frequently asked questions about pins, Gothic pins and badges

How do I properly attach a Gothic pin without damaging my clothing?

Pierce the pin of your garment through a seam allowance, a double layer of fabric, or sturdy material like denim or hoodie material. Avoid very fine, thin fabrics where a pin will leave runs or visible holes. Secure the clasp (butterfly or brooch) firmly so your Gothic pin doesn't slip or get lost.

Where does a Gothic pin fit best – jacket, backpack or shirt?

A pin looks particularly good on jacket lapels, chest pockets of denim or leather jackets, backpacks, or caps. On Gothic shirts and hoodies, a Gothic pin works best on thicker fabric, for example, on the chest or hood edges. It's best to avoid using them on very thin shirts to prevent damage to the material.

How many pins still look harmonious on a jacket?

For a clean outfit, a single Gothic pin or a small duo is often enough. For vests and battle jackets, use several pins in clusters. Make sure that a larger design is in the center and smaller pins are grouped around it. This creates a cohesive overall look, rather than a random appearance.

How do I care for my Gothic brooches so that they look good for a long time?

Remove your pin before washing jackets, hoodies, or bags. Store unworn pins on fabric or cork to prevent scratching the enamel and surface. Wipe away dust or fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners that could damage the coating of your Gothic pin .

Which pin matches which Gothic outfits from EASURE?

For large-scale back prints, such as those on our Gothic hoodies or shirts with back prints , smaller pins on the front are a better fit. More eye-catching Gothic pins, like Bat or Baphomet motifs, work well with minimalist unisex Gothic shirts made from organic cotton in black. For political statements, combine matching pins with our AGAINST designs from the Against Fascism Fashion collection.

Is a pin a suitable gift for Gothic and dark fashion fans?

Yes. A Gothic pin has a personal touch while remaining versatile. You're giving a symbol that can be worn on jackets, bags, caps, or hoodies. Combined with a sustainable Gothic shirt from our Gothic Shirts collection or an EASURE unisex hoodie, it creates a gift that embodies both style and attitude.
