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.

Meet the Cryptid Lineup

Available now on wyldpeak.co.nz (best price) or just search Wyld Peak on Etsy if you're shopping there.

Our patch legends include:

🔹 Bigfoot – Still avoiding cameras, but not your jacket.
