I have a surplus German police black leather motorcycle jacket I acquired cheap when I worked at MidwayUSA. I really like it, but it has "POLIZEI" across the back and I'm thinking of having an embroidered patch stitched over it if I can find one large enough (~18" to 20" wide). Has anyone here had custom patches embroidered? Suggestions?

Lol.
On a serious note...try Etsy. Tons of people with commercial 10 needles and such that can knock that out for you.
These guys have popped up. Never used them, but they appear to have pretty decent reviews over there.

Change the Polizei patch to a patch that says Police might get you arrested by those who really wear that patch.
Change to a patch like this might get you killed by those who really wear that patch...

I was thinking of a classic "Moto Guzzi" logo. Can't find one wide enough...
" POLITE "
A buddy of mine in high school had a Plymouth Fury III and always talked about getting stickers with POLITE on them. It was the early 70's and the PA State Police drove Fury IIIs.

Also, this reminds me of maybe my first thread on the forum (post 2007, that is)
Patching Up My Car
If you don't want people to think you're a cop there is really only one choice.
I've found a few vendors on ebay are pretty good at custom patches.
Might I suggest a German translation of "Fornicate the" to go with the existing rozzers badging?
A Canoe may have coughed this back to the top, but I can help. My son's company was looking to have their logo sewn on tote bags to give to Reps. Average cost in NYC was $1200, Ian's first job was at TShirt Graphics when he was in high school. He contacted them and they did a very nice job on 10 bags for $400.

I didn't read this thread when it was first posted.
No problem, it keeps floating to the top.
Can always ask AI for help with design ideas. Here's Gemini's idea of my CRX prompt.

De-patch an inflatable canoe and it will sink!
I get alot of my patches from small business. I used to use ETSY alot but found out they take a large percentage of profit from the actual business owners so if you can, try to purchase directly from the business, its normally cheaper too.
I have been trying to find the perfect jacket to put my collection of patches on. It's been a struggle, so suggestions are welcome.
