What are chenille patches?
The letterman jacket classic
Chenille patches have a soft, raised, fluffy texture with a cosy, tactile feel. They bring back the look of letterman jackets and school pride.
They are perfect for alumni gatherings, school sports days and academic achievements, and they become lasting mementoes of time spent at school or college.
Chenille patches can be sewn on or ironed on, and are especially popular on jackets, hoodies and varsity style garments.
Best for
- Varsity letters and numbers
- School and college jackets
- Hoodies and team wear
- Alumni and reunion gifts
How it compares
Chenille or embroidered?
Chenille is all about soft texture and big, bold shapes such as letters and numbers. For logos with more detail, embroidered patches work better, and you can combine both on the same garment.
Popular for
- Letterman and varsity jackets
- School sports days
- Graduation and achievement
- Sports teams
