So, I bought a new purse, specifically to have something to put my new Browncoat patch on. Now, I have two questions.

1. It seems that the most accepted version of the patch is "point down". Is that right?

2. Anyone had any experience with these patches? I've never done one before and I don't wanna mess it up. Does it require something between the patch and the iron, or can you apply the iron straight to the patch.

Thanks All!

Okay, thanks for that link, very useful. So, is it safe to apply the iron directly to these patches?

I had no problem applying it to my nylon laptop bag, but... I really just used the iron on to hole it in place while i stitched in the edges. and just to let you know i had know idea what i was doing when i did it lol. but it came out fine. I will post a picture later today.

I don't think so. The visual companion shows point down for patches on their own, but it also shows that the patches are point up on the shoulder of the Independent soldiers. It seems to be point up everywhere save for a few images in the virtual companion.

Just for clarification--are you meaning point up for the whole triangle patch itself and thus point down for the star in the middle, or vice-versa?

Triangle point up, Star point down.

Thank you! That's what I always thought, just checking.

I just watched the beginning of the first episode very closely. True, Mal is wearing the patch triangle point up (star upside down). But the patch he rips off of the shoulder of the dead lieutenant was triangle point down (star right-side up). Further, when he turned it over to read the name, the writing on the back was right-side-up when the triangle point was down. To me, this shows that triangle point down is correct. Mal's was either a wardrobe error, or he was just being diff'rent.

In the patch ripped off the dead lieutenant (point down) there is clearly blue on the patch (I believe it to be his star). Mal's shoulder patch (clearly point up) has no blue. My guess would be that the triangle changes direction and the star changes color depending on rank.
