Custom Fire Department Patches

Yes, and we treat LODD memorial patches as our absolute highest priority. Send us the firefighter's name, badge number, station, and any design references and we start your mockup within hours. Rush production fulfills in 4-7 business days. We understand what these patches mean to a department and treat every detail accordingly.

Yes. We use 100% polyester embroidery thread, which is rated for industrial wash temperatures (160-180 degrees Fahrenheit) and repeated high-heat cycles. Rayon thread, used by cheaper suppliers, degrades and fades under those conditions. We do not use rayon. Stitched Velcro (not glued) also survives repeated gear swaps without adhesive failure.

Sew-on for Class A and Class B station uniforms — permanent, professional finish for dress wear. Velcro for gear bags, tactical vests, and turnout gear where patches need to be swapped or removed. Iron-on is appropriate for station t-shirts and casual training apparel, but not for active firefighting gear or structural turnout coats.

Yes. Fire department seals, Maltese crosses, and bugle rank insignia require precise reproduction that most general patch suppliers get wrong. Send us your official artwork, a vector file, or a high-resolution photo of your badge and our design team matches every detail. You review a free digital mockup before production starts, with unlimited revisions.

Yes. We work with IAFF locals for union jacket patches, event patches, chapter identification, and charity fundraiser runs. Union orders typically run 50-200 pieces and we price them competitively. We can also provide formal invoicing for union treasurers.

Just specify your rank in the design notes: one bugle for lieutenant, two for captain, three for battalion chief, four for deputy chief, five for fire chief. Gold vs. silver bugle color also differs by department, so include your department standard and we match it exactly in the mockup. We have produced rank patches for every rank in the fire service.

Yes. Bring a sample of your current patch or your previous order number and we reproduce thread colors from the same palette. Consistency matters when new patches sit next to existing ones on a uniform, and we archive your color specs for 12 months. Reorders typically ship within 10-14 business days.
