Mmm... Offhand, I'm not sure, but I'd say its not entirely impossible but you'd probably have to put money into it, and with vintage patches it means that the modern thread isn't vintage (if you'd care about that.)
Well, it's not fucked over like patches that have had Rivets chewed through them; I can say that much.
I guess my question at this point is how much you care about the patch being vintage and what you plan to use it for. If is for archival purposes/retaining maximum value, then you'd might want to get another patch in better condition, if you plan to use it for a jacket: then any DECENT repair job will do. As for the repair job, I'm sure any Sewing supplies store can potentially help because there will be seamstresses that can put new edges/hems on the patch for a price. Check local Sewing Shops, or even online (provided they have the right tech/sewing machine for the job.) Now, I don't know how much this will cost, but I DO KNOW that there are modern in-home sewing machines that can put a new Hem o/border on it, and have been able to for the last 16+ years. It could be a cheap thing, it could be in the low double digits, I honestly don't know, but I do know you're not the only one with this problem in recent time (but you will never be the only one in the future.)
Thank you! Yes it is going on my vintage jacket :)
I had this idea that i put the patch on a piece of denim of my old pant an sew the fuck over the borders with sewing machine maybe it wil look better im just going to try it i wil keep everyone up to date and show how it turned out to be \m/
I would hold off on the sewing machine, those things can cause more harm than one would expect unless you are savvy with them. The foot tension has to be just right (lightest setting me thinks) otherwise it's gonna mash the hell out of your patch, cause pinches/bindings, and you can potentially damage your patch further. Do the sewing for this patch by hand, you can tuck those frayed edges in as you go and use proper tension when stitching it on. In the future, do tests with your sewing machine on patches you don't care about so you get a feel for the machine.
Remove the old border. Use iron-on backing material to strengthen the patch. You can now cut any damaged material from the edges, the new backing material will prevent any further fraying. Then let a seamstress make a new border for it.
If you are doing a German styled kutte you could cover the sides with the borders from the surrounding patches. Or cover it with a shaped logo patch to hide the disfigurement.
I put a piece old clothing on the back and sewed the border with a sewing machine pretty happy how it turned out looks a lot better and the patch it self is a lot stronger right now :)
i love seeing these old quirky pieces of merch
PM sent!

How do i remove the old border?

I would recommend using a stitch ripper. You can find one at a craft or fabric store.
