While there are both male and female back-patches in our association, they do not symbolize any difference in rank or position in the association. Nor are they intended to indicate superiority of one sex over the other or indicate a submissive roll of one sex to the other.
The Gunfighter patch represents the more serious aggressive attributes of our association's personality while the Calamity Jane patch represents the carefree and fun loving attributes of our membership. The combination of these two patches accentuates the idea we are a couple’s oriented association and displays both a soft fun loving and a hard serious side to our character. They do not necessarily reflect the personality of the person wearing them.
The back of our vest is reserved for the association's patches only. Only the patches issued to the member should be displayed on the back of the vest, The top rocker, the center patch, and the bottom rocker should be somewhat centered on the back of the vest. These three patches need to be touching, so that they appear to be one patch, rather than three separate patches. Please make special note of this and disregard the measurements shown below. The pictures below shall be used for location purposes only. The Texas flag should be placed on the left side of the center patch and the Chapter patch on the right. The spirit feathers will be attached to the bottom on the chapter patch.
The front of the vest has the Sons of Texas Motorcycle Touring Association badge on the left side and the support patch on the right side. The SOTMTA patch will no longer be used, so disregard that. The remainder of the front of the vest may be decorated and personalized to the member’s liking so long as the items are not obnoxious, discriminative or offensive.
The patches and badge remain the property of the association. Once a member has been with the association for two or more years, they may retire and keep their patches as long as there is no objection from their chapter or the state officers. The top rocker must be modified to show the service dates and a retired member may only wear there patches to state sponsored functions and funerals.
