JUDAS PRIEST Hellbent For Leather Patch

Before leather jackets became a fashion moment, Judas Priest were already wearing them like armour. Hell Bent for Leather, the 1978 Killing Machine track that became an anthem for an entire generation of heavy metal diehards, still hits exactly as hard as it did when Rob Halford rode a Harley onto the stage at the US Festival.

A patch is a commitment. It says you know your history, you've done the listening, and you're willing to stitch your allegiances onto something you're going to wear for the next decade. The Hellbent for Leather design carries the full weight of British heavy metal's golden era, the blueprint for everything that came after, from NWOBHM through to the punk and metal crossover that shaped alternative fashion globally.

Woven patch. Suitable for jackets, bags, vests. Iron-on or sew-on. Country of origin: UK.
