FAQ

Can you reproduce artwork from a reference?

Yes, as a starting point. We redraw or digitize the artwork for the technique you choose and confirm size, colors and detail on the sample. Please only send artwork you own or are licensed to use.

Is there a minimum for patches?

Patches are made for your jacket order, so they follow the jacket quantity. Very small runs raise the cost per patch — confirmed with the quote.

Can you make custom chenille patches — and what are the limits?

Yes. We confirm artwork, size, colors, quantity and detail first. Chenille suits bold letters, numbers and crests; very fine lines and small text are better in flat embroidery or a woven patch.

Which sleeve materials can I choose?

Wool, PU leather and genuine leather are the common options; satin or nylon for lighter jackets. Material samples are sent before sampling when needed.

Can the rib be customized?

Yes. Rib color, stripe count and stripe width are developed to your colors.

Can you make racing graphics?

Yes — printed, embroidered or patch-based stripes, numbers and sponsor-style logos, planned on a placement map.
