The largest and most labour-intensive patch in the Retrosheep range a handmade extra large embroidered Spartan gladiator helmet, multi-colour on a baby blue backing, that took over four hours to complete. Made by hand at Retrosheep in South Wales, this is a genuinely exceptional piece of embroidery work. Only one was ever made, and what you see in the photos is the exact item you will receive.
At 7 x 9 inches this is a statement piece in the truest sense full back-of-jacket scale, the kind of patch that defines an entire garment. The Spartan helmet design carries real visual weight, the intricate detail work across the crest, visor and cheek guards coming through beautifully at this size in a way that simply wouldn't be possible on a smaller patch. The multi-colour threadwork on baby blue backing gives it a distinctive look that sits apart from anything mass-produced.
Four hours of handwork went into this. That shows.
The patch comes with an iron-on backing for easy application, and can also be sewn on. Given the size, finishing with stitches around the edge after ironing is strongly recommended for long-term durability. Press firmly with a hot iron for 3040 seconds without steam, and allow to cool fully before handling.
