Where It Goes
Codes and placement come from the BeeGraphix master location list. Every leather patch is heat pressed with Kota Pro adhesive; caps go on a cap press. Max size is the largest patch that fits the spot.
Front view shows the garment facing you, so the wearer's left chest (LC) sits on your right.
