Layer Cake of New York Slice 3.5” sew on patch

The missing slice from the 13” Layer Cake of New York classic.

Pulled clean from the whole, this embroidered slice reveals the city the way it’s always been; stacked, dense, and alive beneath the surface.

Each layer tells a story: streets, subways, infrastructure, grit, color, history—compressed into a single cross-section of New York. Sitting calmly on top is a pigeon, the city’s quiet constant. Unbothered. Observant. Fully at home. It’s an Empire State of Mind moment; chaos below, composure above.

Fully embroidered with rich texture and depth, this patch feels architectural, almost sculptural. A relic of the larger work, made wearable.

Perfect to sew onto:

• Denim jackets, chore coats, or workwear
• Canvas totes or messenger bags
• Hoodies, crews, or heavyweight tees
• Hats or beanies for a subtle NYC flex
• Art bags, portfolios, or jackets that tell a story
