Cryptid Patches You’ll Actually Want to Wear – Bigfoot, Mothman & More

🏔️ Welcome to the Wyld Side of Patching

Cryptids are more than campfire stories; they’re a lifestyle. And now, they’re embroidered.

At Wyld Peak, we’ve stitched legends into wearable patches that let you rep the creatures that live in lore, trail myths, and maybe that one forest behind your uncle’s farm.

Whether you’re in Oregon, West Virginia, the California woods or just cryptid-curious, we’ve got something to make your gear look straight-up mythical.
