Brandenburger Oeteldonk emblems 15X7cm

Brandenburger Oeteldonk emblems are iron-on decorative buttons measuring 15 x 7 cm, featuring red, white and yellow loops gathered around a round red central button. Oeteldonk is the carnival name for Den Bosch, and with this tricolour you immediately show which party you belong to. Women and men place the ornament on a jacket or carnival costume to give their outfit a Den Bosch touch during carnival.

How big is this brandenburger and how do you attach it?

The brandenburger measures 15 by 7 cm and is an iron-on appliqué, so you attach it to the fabric with an iron.

• At 15 x 7 cm, the emblem is large enough to be clearly visible on a chest panel or sleeve.
• Each loop consists of three bands: red on the outside, white inside that, and yellow on the inside.
• The ornament has four loops, two above and two below, connected by a central section with narrow red-and-white crossbands.
• In the middle is a round red button, making the whole thing look like a fastening.
• The loops have an embroidered finish with dense stitching.
• The emblem is intended for women and men.

The brandenburger as a uniform decoration

A brandenburger is originally a decorative fastening of cord and loops on military uniforms, known from hussar jackets. On a carnival jacket, the emblem takes on that form, but in the colours of Oeteldonk. Because this model is ironed on, you do not need a buttonhole or sewing to imitate the uniform detail. With its elongated shape, you choose it if you want one clear ornament in the middle of your chest, rather than a small accent.

Jacket, carnival costume and scarf around the brandenburger

A dark jacket or a blue carnival costume gives the red-white-yellow loops the most contrast, so it is best to iron the brandenburger on there. Complete the outfit with a scarf or tie in the same tricolour and a hat with a carnival pin, so that the colours are repeated from head to jacket. If you are wearing a uniform-like jacket, place the emblem at the level of the fastening, where a real brandenburger would also be located.

Bring the brandenburger into your home and iron it on your jacket before carnival in Oeteldonk begins.
