The material changes how a patch looks, feels, and wears. Here's a quick way to narrow it down.
Start with the artwork
If your design has fine detail or small text, woven holds it better than embroidery. If it's bold and simple, embroidered or chenille both work.
Then the garment
Going on denim or a bag? Leather ages nicely. Outdoors or on a pack? PVC is waterproof and tough.
When in doubt, compare
Every patch page on this site has a comparison strip against the nearest materials — use it to pick with confidence.
