What is a chenille patch?

A chenille patch is made with looped yarn stitched onto a felt base, creating a raised, towel-like texture. It’s best for bold letters, numbers and simple logos, and is the traditional patch for letterman and varsity jackets.

Soft, fuzzy and unmistakably varsity — chenille brings bold texture to letterman jackets, team gear and streetwear drops.

Every patch is made in-house by our own production team.

Design tips

  • Keep it bold

    Fine detail is added as embroidered outlines on top of the chenille.

  • Letters at 4"+

    Letters and numbers look best at 4 inches and up.

  • Two felt layers

    White on navy (or your colors) gives the classic varsity look.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What’s chenille best for?

Varsity letters, numbers, mascots and bold brand marks. For detailed logos, choose embroidered or woven patches instead.

Can I add text to a chenille patch?

Yes. Small text is embroidered on top of the chenille so it stays readable.

Can chenille patches be ironed on?

Yes, with an iron-on backing. For jackets that will be worn for years, sew-on is more permanent.
