Brandenburger Oeteldonk application 8x5cm

The Oeteldonk brandenburger appliqué, measuring 8 x 5 cm, is an iron-on badge in red, white and yellow, featuring a vertical stripe that ends in a curled loop knot. Men and women attach it to their carnival jacket or kiel to show their support for the colours of Oeteldonk during carnival. Two identical appliqués come on one card, so you immediately have a matching pair for left and right.

What exactly does this Oeteldonk iron-on appliqué look like?

• The set consists of two appliqués with exactly the same design.
• Each appliqué measures 8 x 5 cm.
• At the top is a straight stripe in yellow, white and red, like a short ribbon.
• Below the stripe, the loops twist together to form a decorative knot with a red outer border around a white and a yellow line.
• The lines have the appearance of dense embroidery, with clearly visible stitches along the edges.
• It is an iron-on appliqué, so you attach it with an iron instead of a needle and thread.

Brandenburgers and the colours of Oeteldonk

A brandenburger is originally an ornamental loop of cord on uniform jackets, often applied in pairs or rows on the chest. This ornament reappears on carnival clothing as a reference to the stately jackets of the past. Oeteldonk is the name that 's-Hertogenbosch takes on during carnival, and red, white and yellow are the colours the city wears during this time. This appliqué brings the two together: the shape of the uniform cord in the carnival colours of Den Bosch.

This is how your Oeteldonk outfit becomes instantly recognisable

Iron the two appliqués symmetrically on the chest or shoulders of your jacket, and they will resemble the cord decoration on a uniform. A jacket or kiel in a single solid colour makes the red, white and yellow stand out most clearly. If you want to carry the look further, combine the appliqués with other Oeteldonk emblems on the sleeves or your hat, so your outfit belongs to the city from head to toe.
