chenille patches material and finish

Design for the chenille texture

Large letterforms and simple shapes give tufted yarn room to show its character. Fine text and narrow gaps can disappear in the plush surface. Where a design combines a varsity letter with a small name or year, discuss whether embroidered detail is a better fit for the smaller elements.

Felt borders and jacket placement

The border frames the yarn and changes the finished size. Measure the full footprint, including the surrounding felt, when planning chenille jacket patches. Leave room around pockets, seams and nearby lettering. For a set of varsity patches, establish consistent color references and border proportions across the designs.

Ordering school and sports patches

List each letter, number or mascot variation with its quantity. Minimums can apply to individual designs rather than the total number of pieces, so ask for a breakdown. Confirm the attachment for the actual garment and follow the care instructions supplied for the finished construction.

Questions about custom chenille patches

Can chenille reproduce a detailed logo?

Bold shapes are the best starting point. Small lettering or intricate details may need simplification or a different construction.

How do I measure a varsity letter patch?

Specify the overall width and height including the border, then share the available garment space. The visible letter alone is not the full patch footprint.
