The Brandenburgers Limburg patch is a set of two iron-on patches featuring a curled decorative button above a red-yellow-green striped block. These three colours bring the atmosphere of the Limburg carnival to your clothes, from the parade to the pub. The patches are available for women and men who want to add a Limburg accent to their carnival jacket, blouse or cardigan.
How big are the Brandenburgers and how do you attach them?
The Brandenburgers measure 8 x 5 cm and are iron-on patches, so you attach them to your clothes with an iron.
- You get two identical patches, so you can place one on each lapel or shoulder, for example.
- The size is 8 x 5 cm.
- The colours are red, yellow and green: three stripes next to each other in the block and the same colours in the curls of the button.
- At the top is an open loop, with two side loops underneath that together form the embroidered button shape.
- Because they are iron-on patches, you do not need a needle and thread to attach them.
Where Brandenburgers on a carnival jacket come from
Brandenburgers are loop-shaped decorative cords that originally adorned military uniforms as decoration around the button fastening. Carnival clubs adopted this uniform style, which is why you still see the loops on the jackets of princes, adjutants and the council of eleven. These patches turn that ornament into a flat emblem in the Limburg carnival colours, so you get the uniform look without a full uniform jacket.
Red, yellow and green from head to toe around the Brandenburgers
Iron the Brandenburgers onto the lapel or chest of a plain jacket to make the colours stand out best. Paint a few thin red, yellow and green lines on your cheek so that the same colour order is reflected in your face. Glasses, earrings or a necklace in the carnival colours complement this without making your outfit look too busy.
Order the Brandenburgers Limburg patch and give your carnival jacket a Limburg accent for the next carnival.
