A little tribute to the day when the weekend is over, the buff comes out, and the hunt for the perfect photo begins.
F*CK THE BUFF.
Nobody likes Mondays. Nobody likes going back to school or going to work just to save your boss's ass. But let's not be pessimistic. Not everything about Mondays is horrible...
Mondays bring a pleasant surprise too.
That's when the weekend's work goes out for a ride. There's no better plan than sitting on a platform bench, waiting for the perfect traffic photo while discussing the shadow you missed, the fill-in you couldn't see in the dark, or that f*cking highlight that just didn't work.
Because by Monday morning, the train will be clean again. The paint will be gone. The names will disappear. The evidence will be erased... But not everything disappears.
Sometimes it stays in a photograph. Sometimes in a story. Sometimes in someone's memory. And sometimes, it gets stitched onto a piece of fabric.

HOW TO IRON ON A PATCH
1. Examine the fabric of your clothing. Fabrics like denim and cotton provide the best base for iron-on patches. As a general rule the fabric you choose should be at least as heavy as the patch. Start by looking at the care instructions. You’re looking for the symbol with an iron on it. Ideally you want to be able to use a hot iron – that’s the symbol with the three dots. If you see the warm iron symbol ( two dots) that’s fine too. If you see the cool iron or do not iron symbol we recommend sewing your patch in place.
2. Think about design and placement. Before you heat up the iron, lay out your jacket, sash or backpack and decided where exactly you want the patch to be placed.
3. Place the patch in the position you chose. The adhesive side should be flat against the base fabric. Make sure that the patch isn't crooked.
4. Heat up the iron. Turn it to the hottest setting your fabric can tolerate. Make sure the "steam" option is turned off, and that your iron isn't full of water.
5. Place a thin towel over the patch. Take care not to disturb the position of the patch. The towel will protect the patch itself and the surrounding fabric.
6. Position the heated iron over the patch and press down. Hold the iron there for about 15 seconds. Apply as much pressure as you can by pressing down firmly.
7. Remove the iron and allow the patch to to cool. Lift the towel and check to see whether the patch is fixed on securely by gently rubbing at the edge with a finger, trying to lift it. If it lifts up a bit, replace the towel and press it with the iron again for 10 seconds.
8. Sew on. Learnt by doing, it won’t last your whole trip. We recommend you to hand sew the patches or fix them using a sewing machine after ironing.
