Frequently Asked Questions

Embroidered patches are the streetwear standard, the raised thread texture reads premium on caps, jackets, and bags, with deep roots in streetwear culture from varsity to military-inspired branding. Chenille patches are trending hard for varsity and retro-influenced drops. Woven patches are the move for a cleaner, more minimal silhouette with fine logo detail. Compare patch types and start your order.

Chenille patches are the defining material for varsity, the dense, cut-loop pile creates the letterman texture that owns collegiate branding. Embroidered patches are sharper, with more color precision and fine-detail capability. Spec chenille for big letter patches on a varsity-inspired drop; spec embroidered for a detailed crest or multi-color logo. Both can live on the same jacket. Request a sample of each to compare in hand.

For a streetwear jacket or bomber, large embroidered back patches with laser-cut edges hit hardest, die-cut to the exact silhouette of your logo with no generic rectangular border. PVC patches work for chest or sleeve placement on technical outerwear where waterproofing matters, and woven patches are ideal for sleeve hits with fine typographic detail.

Yes. One order can cover embroidered, chenille, woven, and PVC patches, each with its own artwork, all managed under one account with one dedicated rep. Each patch type is priced on its product page, so configure and order them together, no quote needed.

Embroidered patches start at just 5 pieces and run roughly $1.95 each at 100 pieces for a 2-inch patch, no setup fees, no digitizing charges. Woven patches are comparable at similar quantities; chenille runs slightly higher at small counts because of the pile construction.

Embroidered patches with sew-on backing are the most durable for hat front panels, stitched through the hat fabric, they resist edge peeling under repeated wear and washing. Woven patches with sew-on backing perform similarly for side- or back-panel placements. Iron-on is fine for test runs but less durable for hats washed often. A brand selling hats as a core SKU should spec sew-on embroidered for production durability.

Yes. Every order includes a free digital proof within 24 hours, and most patches include the option to approve a production sample photo before the full run (we make one sample, photograph it on our New York production floor, and email it within 5 business days of proof approval). To compare embroidered, woven, chenille, and PVC in hand, a physical sample is available on request. A $1 multi-type sample pack ships from New York within 1 business day if you'd like to compare up front.

We make embroidered, woven, PVC, leather, chenille, and sublimated patches, all starting at 5 pieces with a free digital proof. Embroidered is the streetwear default for caps and denim. Woven holds fine detail and small text down to about 1mm. PVC is weatherproof and dimensional. Leather reads premium on hats and jackets. Chenille is the varsity look. Sublimated handles photographic artwork. Browse all of them and see live pricing on the patches category page.

Any shape. Circles, squares, shields, rectangles, and full custom die lines cut to your outline. Standard shapes keep costs lowest because they nest efficiently, but a custom silhouette costs no extra at our minimums, and a distinctive outline is one of the cheapest ways to make a patch look considered rather than generic. Send your artwork with the outline you want and we will proof the die line before production.

Yes, and hats are one of the most common placements we produce for. Embroidered and leather patches are the usual picks for caps and snapbacks because they hold a raised, structured look on a curved front panel. Woven works when the logo has fine detail that stitching would blur, and PVC handles outdoor and technical caps. Keep hat patches around 2 to 3 inches wide so the design clears the seams. Minimum is 5 pieces. See options on the patches category page.

Yes, custom logo patches are the bulk of what we produce. Send the logo in any format you have, including a phone photo of a printed version, and we redraw it as production artwork at no charge. Embroidered gives raised texture, woven holds fine detail and small type, PVC handles weatherproof applications, and leather reads premium. Which one suits depends on how much detail your mark carries. Minimum is 5 pieces. Upload your logo on the patches category page.

Custom patches for hats and beanies

Custom Patches for Hats & Beanies

Hats and beanies are the #1 application for custom patches. Whether you're branding a snapback line or adding a logo to knit beanies, the right patch turns basic headwear into a branded product. Embroidered patches deliver the classic raised-thread texture that looks sharp on structured caps, while woven patches offer finer detail for intricate logos and small text.

We offer iron-on, velcro, and sew-on backing options sized specifically for hat applications — typically 2" to 3.5" — with placement guidance from our production team.

PVC patches for tactical and outdoor brands

PVC Patches for Tactical & Outdoor Brands

PVC patches are the go-to choice for tactical gear, outdoor apparel, and military-style branding. Made from durable, waterproof rubber, they stand up to rain, mud, UV exposure, and heavy abrasion without fading or fraying. The raised 3D molding creates bold, high-contrast designs that look sharp on backpacks, jackets, and plate carriers.

Available with velcro backing for field-swappable morale patches or sewn-on for permanent branding. Custom color matching with up to 4 PMS colors per design.

Iron on patches for easy application

Iron On Patches for Easy Application

Iron-on patches feature a heat-activated adhesive backing that bonds directly to fabric with a household iron or heat press — no sewing required. They're the fastest way to apply custom patches to hats, jackets, tote bags, and uniforms, making them a popular choice for brands, teams, and events that need quick turnaround with professional results.

Most of our patch types — embroidered, woven, leather, PVC, and sublimated — are available with iron-on backing. For high-wash garments or heavy-use items, we recommend reinforcing with a few stitches or choosing our combination iron-on + sew-on backing for maximum durability.
