Dating back to the Teutonic Knights and the Prussian Empire, Iron crosses were the highest German military decoration. With the dawn of the outlaw biker gangs in the '60s, Iron crosses began to appear as a sign of rebellion. Today, they're worn to symbolize the courage, honor, valor, and brotherhood shown by the men that received the award. Our 2.75" diameter patch features a black Iron cross on a field of red. The silver trim and border make it stand out beautifully on any style jacket or vest and makes a striking image. Order yours today.
