Chenille, applique, and embroidered patches — how the different styles compare and which one fits your jacket or uniform.
Patches aren't a single technique — chenille, applique, and full embroidery all produce very different looks, textures, and price points, even when they're covering the same size logo or number. We're actively adding more patch-specific guides, so this collection is smaller for now, but each guide below covers a real decision you'll likely face when ordering patches.
