Further to the @sacredhart query about attaching a patch to fabric, is there also a brilliant way to fix metal badges to a thick leather bike jacket? I have many badges. Some have a pin at 90 degrees, with a grippy thing. Some have a safety pin. Some of the tin badges have a hollow space at the back with a pin built in. None of these pin arrangements are any good. I want to remove all the pins and use some other method which doesn't involve making holes in the leather. I've had some success with Gorilla silicone sealant. It doesn't do permanent damage to the leather. You can peel it off, and the mark it leaves can be removed with a bit of leather gloop.
