Specialty Application Styles

Add dimension, texture, and color to your apparel with custom applique embroidery. Applique layers fabric shapes onto your garment and secures them with clean, durable satin stitching, creating a bold, tactile look that standard embroidery can’t match. It’s the go-to choice for varsity letters, team jerseys, sorority and fraternity apparel, school spirit wear, kids’ clothing, and personalized gifts.

Because large areas are filled with fabric rather than thousands of stitches, applique is also a cost-effective way to produce big, eye-catching designs without adding weight or stiffness to the garment. Choose from twill, felt, glitter, metallic, and specialty fabrics to make your logo or lettering stand out. Every piece is precision-cut and stitched to hold up through repeated wear and washing.

Best for: Letterman jackets, hoodies, sweatshirts, team uniforms, tote bags, blankets, and custom patches.

Get the vintage, hand-crafted look of traditional chain stitch with the durability and consistency of modern machine embroidery. Faux chain stitch embroidery recreates the classic looped, rope-like texture seen on retro varsity jackets, workwear, and heritage-style apparel, delivering that nostalgic charm at a more accessible price point and faster turnaround.

The raised, textured finish gives lettering and logos a distinctive, authentic feel that adds character and perceived value to your garments. It’s an ideal fit for brands, clubs, and individuals who want a throwback aesthetic with a premium touch.

Best for: Vintage-style jackets, hats, work shirts, hoodies, custom lettering, brand logos, and retro-inspired designs.
