GRATEFUL DEAD Round Patch

The Grateful Dead were playing extended psychedelic sets in San Francisco warehouses before most rock bands knew what a sound system was. Sixty years on, the skull still turns up everywhere from Haight Street to the Frankston foreshore.

Dead iconography has always crossed borders, showing up on the vests of punk kids, metalheads, and anyone who appreciates a band that built their entire existence around doing things their own way for as long as they wanted. The round format works well on sleeves, chest pockets, or bags, and the woven construction holds up to the kind of wear a patch like this deserves. Sew it on properly, though. This one is not iron-on.

95mm diameter approximately. Woven. Sew-on only, not iron-on. Official licensed merchandise.
