Oeteldonk brandenburgers are iron-on patches in the shape of an elegant loop ornament, diagonally striped in the Oeteldonk colors of red, yellow, and white. Iron them onto a jacket, traditional carnival tunic, or bag, ideally as a pair on the left and right sides of the chest, so they look like the cord trim of a uniform jacket. This allows men and women in Oeteldonk to dress up for carnival without buying a complete costume.

- The colors red, yellow, and white run in diagonal stripes across the entire ornament.

What are brandenburgers and why do they suit Oeteldonk?
Brandenburgers are the elegant cord loops found on classic uniform jackets, such as hussar uniforms, running horizontally across the chest. On a carnival outfit, they create that same ceremonial effect without the need for a full uniform jacket. Oeteldonk is the carnival name for 's-Hertogenbosch, and red, white, and yellow are its traditional colors. These patches bring those colors to your own clothing in a recognizable uniform style.
The brandenburgers in a complete carnival outfit
Iron the brandenburgers onto a plain jacket or traditional carnival tunic to make the striped loops stand out. A scarf or hat in red, yellow, and white can then carry the colors through to the rest of your outfit. If you prefer to wear them separately from your clothing, they also look great on a bag or cap, with one on each side.
Order the Oeteldonk brandenburgers and iron your jacket carnival-ready before the parade begins.
