This embroidered patch has a dark mythology look: the main form is outlined with densely laid black thread fill, the scales are built up layer by layer with short stitches placed one after another, gold thread adds highlights at the eyes, teeth and scale edges, and the dark grey mesh backing brings out a subtly revealing texture. The overall palette is dark and moody with glints of gold scales, mysterious yet with a sense of power — well suited to a large chest graphic on a sweatshirt.
Optional techniques
The motif, colour scheme and amount of gold thread can be adjusted to your artwork; gold thread can be swapped for silver or coloured metallic thread; the base fabric can be dark grey, black or other colours; the finished piece can be made as a fabric patch or embroidered directly onto finished garments.
Applications
Suitable for large chest and back graphics on sweatshirts, jackets and coats, and also for bags and merchandise. The dark mythology and golden-scale elements are highly recognisable in streetwear and China-chic products.
Customisation process
Customisation from artwork or samples is supported. Standard MOQ is 300 pieces; simple samples are free for 3 designs, while complex or combined techniques incur a sampling fee (deductible once the order reaches MOQ); standard sampling takes 24–48 hours, and complex techniques about 3–4 working days; bulk production lead time is 5–10 working days, subject to production scheduling confirmation.
Production capacity
Dobest has a 3,000 ㎡ factory and more than 30 specialty embroidery computer machines, with an annual capacity of about 1.5 million pieces. Large-area designs are formed section by section by machine embroidery, and before shipment each piece is checked for line clarity and gold thread lustre.
