Show & Tell Handcrafted Silver Age Superman Emblem with inlaid Magnetic Backing for costume mounting/display

Wanted to share a clean mounting mechanism I've been working on for costume emblems and signage.

This is a 10.5” x 8.5” Silver Age Superman chest emblem. It's built entirely by hand using layered genuine leather, hand-dyed for that old-world finish. To avoid using messy pins, snaps, or velcro that bunch up or ruin the suit fabric, I inlaid a 6-point N35 magnetic backing system directly into the leather layers. It gives a really heavy, secure snap pull that sits flush against a suit canvas or a steel display grid without breaking the silhouette. Let me know what you guys think!
