Originally wrote this for r/battlejackets but it wasn't showing up on that sub, so I am going to post it here. Links for the custom patches are below, however, take a look at these tips I made so you can get the images you're needing beforehand!
//////////////////// TIPS FOR GETTING A PERFECT CUSTOM LOGO/DESIGN \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
-Use paint.net (the app) or photoshop to design the image you're exactly looking for. I recommend maxing the contrast and then adding colors, if you want any. For getting a cutout shape, look here: https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+add+a+border+paint.net&rlz=1C1CHB...
-This website allows you to increase the quality and size of your images. After numerous images you enhance, you will need to pay, but I say it's worth it, it works really damn well overall. Here it is: https://letsenhance.io/v2/boost
-Putting custom designs and logos on an image and then placing them on a t-shirt is a great way to get patches of whatever you want for cheap. Simply cut out the logos and designs on the shirt, and then sew them onto whatever you want. Just be careful not to mess up

Does anyone know somewhere that does custom wovens but doesn't require you to order 50+?
GabeG951 on
Try UKR Patcher. Sadly, Sticker You is like that so they wont work
Thane
Thanks bro I'll give him a shot 🤘🏻
GabeG951 on
I checked with him, minimum is 50... :(
Thane
Damn lol Guess I'm going printed for now
Could try Okpatcher from china, she did some patches for PTPP
Woven patches always go by a minimum quantity.

Thanks!

How is the print on the Allied shirts?
GabeG951 on
When you're doing it on the website, it looks like shit. But when it actually arrives, it's pretty nice. It really depends on the image quality
Freelancer on
And again, what about custom wovens patches with minimum amount about 5-10 items? :(
GabeG951 on
I found this site that does no minimums. Idk how the price will be. I did a really complex, large design and it was about $230. Didnt order it, just went with superbpatch. So it'll probably be a bit much, but here's the place you can try

Into Glory Ride on
Awesome! Since i am currently thinking about making and offering my own patches , this is the perfect time. Thank you for your effort!
GabeG951 on
Best of luck my friend!!
Faber on
Dunno what you're planning, but since we got a pretty simular taste: lemme know!
Into Glory Ride on
Haha yeah mate, i suppose so.
Well i am in the preparation of something for Bands, that don't have (good) patches yet in "our" field (USPM, Epic, ...). Shirts too probably. Still in the preparation/experimentation phase but I'll surely let you know / announce it here in some way or another!
Faber on
Cool man. Gonna keep an eye open for your endeavours! Ever thought about DarkBlack from Portland? ;p
Into Glory Ride on
Yeah my problem is i am always working at so many projects at once, slows the whole process down a bit hah
They definitely fall under that banner ! Sellsword!!

You should add http://patch-shop.com/ to the list, they do custom embroidered patches. Quality is actually really good, best part is that they can do one-off pieces. Biggest downside is probably the cost, they can be pretty pricey, the website is also pretty archaic so it's really slow. Other than that I'd definitely recommend them.
Arkturean on
Good list!
You should also add Ely Hang (http://www.okpatch.com/). She does very high quality woven patches and manufactures for Pull the Plug Patches, Iron & Ash, etc. Minimum order size 50 patches. Very friendly to deal with and good customer service.

Here in Germany I had very good experiences with aufnaeher4you https://aufnaeher4u.de/
Very kind people, no problems dealing with extra wishes. Had a large individual patch embroidered in night-glowing yarn.
Also they made my series of Wicküler Beer patches, woven in crispy quality. Unfortunately I had to order 50 as well, some are still left, if you love Wicküler or beer in general...
Das_Gstoich on
If you need small quantities go to uwe.
You don't have to buy via eBay, I often just send him a mail. Quality is good, but you really have to tell him that he has to make a "kettelrand".

Angel Medina on Tshirtslayer always does incredible embroidered patches, I highly recommend him. I used to use Saimon Embroidery, because yes, she has very low prices, but all her patches use felt as a base, which over time doesn't hold up as well and is constantly getting fuzzballs and shit stuck to it.
Messiah-Of-Pigs on
I have used UKRPatcher many times, he is great - some of his woven patches are in my page Hellfekted backpatch being one of them (plus others I got made - printed and embroidered).
However, he is based in Ukraine, I do not know and have not asked if production has ceased for the now, I wished him well ect but thought not to ask
Darkring2 on
They don't do single patches anymore
Kathulex on
Looking to get some custom one-off embroidered designs made. Anyone based in Europe that does them affordably? Used to order a lot from UKRpatcher but interested if there are any others around.
MortalCoil138 on
Great post op
DukeThylacine on
Too bad I'm seeing this post too late.
Because I have ordered 3 customs from BlackDungeonPatch, but her Etsy shop is not up anymore (she's from Ukraine). But yes can also confirm for her shop that the detail was superb!
(Her custom patches on my profile are Litvintroll, Ruyan and Znich)
Velkaarn
She's still active, she has a new(? probably not that new) site here: https://dungeonpatches.com/
I got my Algaion patch (https://tshirtslayer.com/patch/algaion-old-logo-patch-red) from her, and have now two others coming in. Very good quality on the ones I got!
DukeThylacine on
Awesome! Thanks for the info!
Darklord on
Wow thanks for sucked detailed info, definitely gone look some of these up.
