Custom Chenille Patches

A chenille patch is made from soft, looped yarn instead of flat stitching, so the surface is raised and fuzzy to the touch. Most chenille patches are finished with an embroidered outline that keeps the shape sharp. It is the classic letterman jacket look.

Bold, simple artwork. Big letters, numbers, initials, mascots and strong silhouettes read beautifully in chenille because the yarn fills large shapes with texture. The simpler the shape, the better it holds up across a room.

Yes, that is where chenille comes from. Chest letters, back designs and sleeve numbers on wool or leather varsity jackets are the most common chenille orders we run.

Yes. Send the letter, number, monogram or word you want along with the style you have in mind, and we build it to your size and colors. Everything is made from your own artwork or your written direction, never from a fixed catalog.

Chenille is a textured yarn surface, so very fine linework and small lettering do not hold the way they do in other constructions. If your design depends on small type or thin detail, woven or printed usually reproduces it better. We tell you which parts are at risk before anything is produced.

Chenille rewards size. Chest letters, back pieces and sleeve numbers all sit in different ranges, and the right number depends on your artwork's proportions and where it is going. The Patch Advisor recommends a proportional Width by Height from your file, and the size chart shows typical dimensions by placement.

Sew-on for jackets and anything heavy or washed often, which is what most chenille orders use. Iron-on / heat seal for quick heat-activated attachment for suitable fabrics. Hook-and-loop when the patch needs to come off or move between garments.

Yes. Chenille works well on fleece and heavyweight knits, and it is a common choice for hoodie chest letters and back designs. Lighter, stretchier fabrics carry a large chenille piece less comfortably, so we will flag it if the size and the garment are working against each other.

Choose chenille when you want plush texture and a bold varsity presence at a larger size. Choose embroidery when your artwork has sharper linework or more conventional logo detail and you want the traditional stitched surface. Both are made from your artwork and both get a mockup first.

You review and approve your free digital mockup before paying. After payment, we make a real sample and send you a photo of it to approve before the full production run begins.

Embroidered, Woven, PVC, Glow-in-the-Dark PVC, Chenille, Leather, and Printed / Sublimated patches start at 5 pieces. Your recommended patch type will show its correct minimum.

Your mockup comes back within 24 hours. Standard production runs 10 to 14 business days after sample approval, and rush options are available on request.
