Custom Letterman & Varsity Patches Reviews

Ordered 100 embroidered patches for our youth wrestling club and couldn't be happier. The quality was exactly what we designed — clean stitching, colors came out great. When an unexpected customs fee came up on my end, Lance handled it immediately without any hassle.
On behalf of Harvest Preparatory School Cheer, a huge thank you to Panda Patches. When our patches arrived we were beyond impressed — the quality is amazing and they adhered perfectly to our cheerleaders' backpacks. The finished product exceeded our expectations.
The patches I received were high quality and exactly what I asked for. I will definitely be ordering from this company again.

Custom Letterman & Varsity Patches From 5 Pieces
The letterman patch is a keepsake, worn for years and often kept for life, so the build matters. Chenille is the authentic choice: thick, raised yarn on a felt base gives the classic varsity letter its soft texture, and the felt is stitched on with a sew-on backing that lasts. We make the main school letter, the mascot, sport and activity icons, and the award stars, year patches, and bars that record each season, all matched to your exact school colors.
With a 5-piece minimum and no setup fees, a single student can order a letter and a couple of award patches, or a school can run a whole team or graduating class with the unit price falling at volume. Chenille is priced by size, so larger letters cost more per piece, and we quote and show every design to scale on a free mockup first. Start on the chenille patches page, order individual chenille letters, plan your 2026-27 varsity season order, check the placement guide for where each piece goes, see 2026 chenille costs and specs, and choose sew-on backing. Every order includes free worldwide shipping, unlimited free revisions, and a money-back guarantee.
Letterman Patches FAQ
Letterman patches are the chenille patches worn on varsity and letterman jackets: the large school letter (the chenille "letter"), mascots, sport and activity icons, year and grade patches, and award stars and bars. They use thick, raised chenille yarn on a felt base for the classic fuzzy varsity texture, and are the traditional way students display their school, sport, and achievements.
Chenille is the standard for letterman jackets. Its raised, soft yarn pile gives the authentic varsity look for letters, mascots, and award patches, and it pairs with a felt backing that sits well on wool-body jackets. Embroidered patches are used for smaller, fine-detail elements like year patches or sponsor marks. For the main letter and mascot, choose chenille.
Yes. We Pantone (PMS) match your exact school colors at no extra charge and reproduce your mascot, letter style, and trim on a free digital mockup in 12 to 24 hours. Two-color and outlined chenille letters, custom shapes, and felt trim are all standard. Request unlimited revisions until it matches your program; production starts only after you approve.
Chenille letters are typically 4 to 12 inches for the main jacket letter, with mascots, sport icons, and award patches sized to suit. Because chenille pricing is based on size, larger letters cost more per piece than small ones. Tell us the finished size you need and we will quote it and show it to scale on the mockup.
Just 5 pieces, so a single student can order a letter and a few award patches, or a school can run a full team or graduating-class order with the unit price dropping at higher quantities. Chenille patches start at $1.30 per piece at 2 by 2 inches and 1,000 pieces; larger varsity letters are priced by size. No setup fees, free worldwide shipping on every order.
Chenille letterman patches come with a felt sew-on base, the traditional choice that is stitched onto the jacket so it survives years of wear and washing. Iron-on is not used on chenille because the textured yarn does not bond to adhesive, and because letterman jackets are kept for years, sew-on is the durable standard. We can advise on placement for letters, mascots, and award patches.
