Although the De-Patchables™ is manufactured with permanent ink, they are not meant for the washer. However, the benefit to being disposable is it allows one the option of displaying a new and different graphic image daily. Whether they are secured on the knees or pockets of pants, jackets, or shirts, they are a great addition to any attire.
Besides, once these are applied, they permanently change the appearance and soil the same as the rest of the garment. Eventually, these too get worn and need replacement over time.
So far, 'sew-ons' and 'iron-ons' have been the only remedies available. In today's fast paced lifestyle, most people do not have the time, energy, and sometimes skill to expend on this menial task.
CLOTHING PROTECTORS

The De-Patchables™ is an adhesive clothing protector that may be applied to any apparel except suede and leather. Protecting clothing from the inevitable everyday, normal wear and tear associated with daily activity has long been a dilemma for everyone.
It is well known that certain areas of garments become more soiled and wear more quickly than others.
Children's clothing is especially susceptible to such soiling - particularly in the knee region. Most often, this is the only place where protection is necessary yet the whole garment must be washed if they get dirty - usually a daily occurrence. Additionally, if this area gets too worn, the garment is usually discarded.
Testing

Extensive testing indicated an overall rate of success! Our target was aimed mainly at the energetic 5 years to 11 years old children. This product held up to all their normal everyday activities and surpassed our expectations in terms of protection and durability. With its lightweight flexible material and non-abrasive surface, the patches did not interfere with the children's play. The young testers were very enthusiastic about wearing the brightly coloured images, as they loved choosing their 'design-of-the-day'. Whether the patches were worn as a knee reinforcement or as a fashion statement on their back pockets, shirts or jackets, they absolutely loved the look.

The De-Patchables™ offer a much easier solution. To provide temporary protection to the knee area on a pair of pants, one peels the backing away from the adhesive patch and smooths it securely in place just below the kneecap. The De-Patchables™ helps prevent problems such as worn-out knees, and grass and dirt stains from occurring. Additionally, they cover holes and damaged areas already in existence. The product works as simple as that! No ironing, no sewing, no mess. They are discarded when soiled or worn, leaving the pants in their original condition. It gives the consumer the advantage of wearing the patches when necessary and taking them off when not.
