104th Infantry Division Patch

Timberwolf Division Patch

This is the shoulder sleeve insignia of the US Army's 104th Infantry Division, the unit known as the Timberwolves. A shoulder sleeve insignia, or SSI, is the cloth patch worn on the upper sleeve to show which division a soldier belongs to. Collectors use it to round out a unit display, reenactors sew it onto period uniforms, and veterans' families often want one to mark a relative's service.

Features

• Howling Timberwolf Design — A white wolf's head in profile, mouth open, fills most of the disc and gives the division its nickname.
• Green Disc Background — The wolf sits on a solid green field, the division's established color scheme.
• Full-Color Embroidery — The patch is stitched in its full colors rather than the subdued olive and black used on field uniforms.
• Nylon Thread Construction — Dense nylon embroidery covers the whole face, with stitch detail picking out the fur, eye and ears.
• Merrowed Edge — A dark gray overlocked border wraps the rim so the edge holds its shape and resists fraying.
• Sew-On Backing — The plain embroidered back has no hook-and-loop fastener, so the patch is stitched directly onto a garment.
• Round Profile — The circular shape matches the division's official insignia outline.
• Genuine US Army Issue — This is government-issue insignia, the same patch supplied through Army channels.

Original Army Issue

The patch was issued by the US Army and keeps the original specification: nylon embroidery, a green field, a white wolf's head and a merrowed border. Sew it to a dress or service uniform sleeve, a jacket or a display board. For anyone building an accurate 104th Infantry Division uniform or collection, issued insignia carries a provenance that a commercial copy cannot match.
