Brandenburger Limburg appliqués are two iron-on appliqués measuring 13 x 9 cm in red, yellow, and green, shaped like an elegant button made of curled loops. The most striking feature is the design: at the top is a straight block with a red, yellow, and green stripe, and below that three pairs of loops curl outwards, each alternately striped in red, yellow, and green. You iron this carnival emblem onto a jacket, tunic, or hat for carnival in Limburg colors, and it suits both women and men.
Size, color and design of the iron-on emblem
- You get a set of two appliqués, so you have the same motif on the left and right.
- Each appliqué measures 13 x 9 cm.
- The colors are red, yellow, and green, divided into stripes that follow the loops.
- It is an iron-on appliqué, so you attach it with an iron instead of a needle and thread.
- The loops have a red outer edge and widen from top to bottom.
The brandenburger: from uniform jacket to carnival jacket
A brandenburger is a decorative closure made of curled cords that you know from the chest of classic uniform jackets, such as those worn by hussars and marching bands. That uniform style lives on in the jackets of carnival clubs and carnival councils. With these iron-on appliqués you get that motif without the cordwork, and in the red-yellow-green colors that belong to the Limburg carnival.
Where do you iron the brandenburgers on for the parade?
The brandenburgers look best when ironed directly opposite each other on the chest of your jacket, with the striped block facing up, so that together they look like a uniform closure. If you are marching in the parade, choose a plain jacket or tunic in a dark color, because the red, yellow, and green stand out the most on it. For an evening in the pub during carnival you can also put one appliqué on your sleeve or hat and the second on your scarf or bag.
