Vintage Harley-Davidson Winged Bar & Shield Patch – Gauze Back

Official Harley-Davidson branding

Distinct winged Bar & Shield design (less common than standard shield-only patches)

Older gauze-style backing, indicating earlier production

Wide, low-profile shape makes it especially desirable for upper-back or shoulder placement

Low, wide, and unmistakably Harley. This vintage Harley-Davidson winged Bar & Shield patch features extended silver wings flanking the classic orange logo, finished with dense embroidery and an early gauze-style backing that shows its age and authenticity.

The elongated shape makes this patch perfect for upper-back placement, jacket shoulders, or creative layout work where standard patches don’t quite fit.
