We specialize in custom Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi patches. Embroidered BJJ patches need to be made with special threads and stitching techniques to hold up under the rough conditions of rolling and competition. We can also create your BJJ club logo as a woven patch. Woven BJJ patches are becoming a popular alternative to embroidered patches. We can get much finer details and a flat two dimensional look using finer woven threads. Keep in mind that you will be limited to 8 inches in size and 8 thread colors if you decide to create your BJJ logo as a woven patch. Just send us your logo and we will recommend the correct patch size depending on where you want to place them on your Gi. IBJJF rules require your sew your BJJ patches on in one of 13 different locations with space allowance for grabbing. We recommend using a heat seal backing so your patch can be ironed on in the correct location before sewing it in place. If you happen to be a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighter and want to get a patch sewn on to your uniform, make sure you attach it to your gi the correct way. When sewing your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu patch on you can try out basically three options depending upon your skills and needs. The simplest way is to take it a Tailor or Dry Cleaners and have him or her sew it on to your Gi. This is the preferred way and will probably cost you around $15.00. If you want to save on this expenditure you can also sew it on either on by hand or using a sewing machine. It’s always a good idea to sew an X shaped pattern in the middle of the patch as well as around the edges. This will help keep your patch more secure and prevent it from coming off during training or competition.

Name patches are most commonly used on uniforms including those for our military, emergency medical technicians, automotive, law enforcement, sports teams, and the healthcare industry. In most cases it is not advisable to embroider directly on leather, so motorcycle clubs and organizations also have a special need for custom patches. All of our patches are custom made to your unique specifications. You will be able to choose your thread, border, and background colors, as well as the shape, size, and font of your unique custom patch. We have over three hundred different threads to choose from including metallic, polyester, and fluorescent colors. Most custom patches use either a block or brush script font, although we can digitize custom fonts when needed. Custom name patches can be ordered with an iron on, plastic, adhesive, or Velcro backing. Most of our name patches are made standard with an iron on backing. The most common shapes are oval or rectangular, but we have done them in many other shapes and sizes. Rectangular patches can be done with squared or rounded corners. We can manufacture them in custom shapes with a laser cut border, but we prefer to use a merrowed border to finish the edge of our custom made name patches. Most of our name patches are done with a twill material background. This is a smooth colorfast polyester fabric that is available in over seventy different colors. Name patches can also be ordered with a one hundred percent embroidery filled background. Another reason to use name patches is that they are generally more affordable than direct embroidery. Unlike direct embroidery, they can also be removed and or replaced as needed. Try our custom patches and let us be your one stop location for all your custom embroidery and embroidered patch needs.

Advantage Embroidery can manufacture all of your custom biker patches. Motorcycle club patches are used to signify biker club membership, and there are different ways to set up your patches depending on the club or organization. Biker association patches are a single one piece patch, while biker clubs usually use a two piece patch to identify their clubs. There is a club logo center patch, with club name top rocker. The bottom rocker changes and will signify the city, or bikers location. These patches should always contain a unique club logo and name. Sometimes the biker club will use only a top rocker and no center patch. Title patches are used to identify the bikers position in the club, while name or road patches can have the bikers real name or moniker. Memory patches are worn in honor of deceased members, and are usually placed anywhere on their leather jackets. Biker travel patches are commonly used as mementos of events or places that have been visited. Twill is the basic background material used on most biker patches, although reflective twill and leather are also used on some occasions. Most of our custom biker patches will be going on leather so we will use merrowed borders, or in some cases laser cut borders for easy sewing. We do not recommend iron on backing for leather applications, as this may cause damage the the leather surface. It is best to sew your biker patches on or bring them to someone who is experienced at sewing on patches to leather.  Because of the thickness and texture leather is difficult to sew through. We supply custom biker patches to a variety of individuals and organizations, so feel free to contact us at any time for a free price quote.
