Custom Chenille Patches for Varsity Jackets, Teams & Schools — Made in the USA

Chenille, translating to “caterpillar” in French, refers to a fluffy, bespoke patch style that adds texture and value to your brand.

Chenille is a soft, fluffy fabric made from various fibers like cotton, silk, wool, or rayon. It’s commonly used in fashion and home decor, known for its plush texture and unique manufacturing process.

Chenille patches use yarn layers woven together, creating a plush texture. Small yarn lengths intertwine between larger strands, resulting in a twisted design.

Embroidered patches use flat thread stitched onto a base fabric for a smooth, detailed finish. Chenille patches use looped yarn for a raised, textured, fuzzy surface — the classic letterman look. Chenille works best for bold, simple designs with large fill areas; embroidery works better for fine detail and small text.
