EMBROIDERED LOGO

The standard for corporate and team softshells, and the fabric where embroidery looks its best. The smooth bonded face holds fine lines and small text that fleece pile would swallow, and the fleece lining gives the stitches a stable base. A small left chest mark reads as premium in a client meeting and on the sideline.

CUSTOM PATCH

A custom patch puts your logo on a sewn or applied emblem instead of stitching directly through the bonded face. Patches keep more of the shell's wind and water resistance intact, suit multi-color marks with gradients, and give athletic softshells a retail-inspired badge look.

PERSONALIZED NAME

Add an individual's name or title in embroidery alongside your logo. "Head Coach," "Property Manager," or a first name turns a staff order into individual gear and introduces the wearer before the handshake, which is why softshells are the go-to for client-facing teams.

PLAYER NUMBER

Player numbers make custom softshells part of the uniform. Teams add numbers so travel and sideline jackets match the roster, and the stretch softshell fit means players actually wear them warming up, keeping coaches, players, and staff identifiable at a glance.

SOFTSHELL JACKET LOGO PLACEMENT

Left chest, the standard. An embroidered left chest logo typically runs 3 to 4 inches wide, about the size of a business card, centered on the chest panel and clear of the zipper, chest pocket, and storm flap. On a softshell the smooth face lets that logo carry finer detail than it would on fleece, so it reads clearly across a meeting or from the sideline. On women's companion styles, the logo sits slightly higher to match the garment's cut.

Right chest, when the brand mark is on the left. Many retail softshells carry the maker's own logo on the left chest or left sleeve. In that case your organization's logo is embroidered on the right chest at the same size, keeping the finished jacket balanced and professional.

Upper back. An embroidered upper back logo is the same size as the chest logo, centered between the shoulder blades and just below the collar seam, where the bonded face is flat and stable. It gives your organization a second read from behind, and it works well for a mark, monogram, or short wordmark. Keep it to chest-logo size; a large back design on a softshell reads as promotional workwear rather than a corporate jacket.

Sleeve. An embroidered sleeve logo runs 2 to 3 inches wide on the upper arm, centered just below the shoulder seam. On team softshells the sleeve is the usual home for a sponsor mark, conference logo, or department name that sits alongside the chest logo, and the stretch fabric holds the stitch without pulling.

Softshell vs Other Jackets

What is the difference between a softshell and a fleece jacket for a logo?

A softshell bonds a smooth, wind resistant face fabric to a fleece lining, while a fleece jacket is the soft pile fabric alone. The smooth softshell face holds finer embroidery detail and small text than fleece pile, so it suits client-facing staff, while fleece reads friendlier and warmer for indoor and casual wear.

Is a softshell jacket waterproof?

No, a softshell jacket is wind and water resistant, not waterproof. The bonded face sheds drizzle and blocks wind chill, but for a full day in steady rain a seam-sealed waterproof jacket is the right call.

Should our team order a 2-layer or 3-layer softshell?

A 2-layer softshell is lighter and more flexible, suited to office, travel, and mild days. A 3-layer softshell adds a bonded membrane for more wind and water resistance, which suits coaches, grounds crews, and anyone outside in transitional weather. Both embroider the same way, and for real cold an embroidered down jacket layers over either.

Hooded or collared softshell for a company jacket?

Collared softshells read more professional and are the usual pick for sales teams and client-facing staff. Hooded styles suit coaches, crews, and outdoor events, and a hood does not change where the chest logo goes.

Logo & Embroidery

Do softshell jackets embroider well?

Yes, the smooth, tightly woven face of a softshell jacket is one of the best surfaces for embroidery in outerwear. Fine lines and small text stay crisp, and the fleece backing gives the stitches a stable base, so a small left chest mark reads as premium.

Does embroidery affect a softshell jacket's wind or water resistance?

Embroidery needles do pass through the bonded face, so the stitch area is slightly less resistant than the rest of the shell. Elevation Sports keeps softshell logos compact, which is why a small chest logo is the standard rather than a large back print.

Where does the logo go on a custom embroidered softshell jacket?

The left chest is standard, sized to sit clear of the zipper, chest pocket, and any storm flap. When the retail brand's own mark is on the left chest, your logo goes on the right chest, and the left sleeve is the usual spot for a sponsor or department mark on team softshells.

Can we add names and titles like Head Coach?

Yes, individual names, titles, and player numbers can be embroidered alongside your logo on any softshell jacket in this category. Coaching staffs and client-facing teams use them to tell identical jackets apart and to introduce the wearer.

What artwork do you need to embroider our logo on softshells?

We accept .ai, .eps, .pdf, .png, and .jpg artwork files for softshell jacket embroidery. Vector .ai and .eps files convert most cleanly into a stitch file, and the smooth softshell face lets us keep finer detail than most other jacket fabrics.

Brands & Fit

Which brands of softshell jackets can be customized?

Elevation Sports embroiders custom softshell jackets from Patagonia, The North Face, STIO, Under Armour, Nike, Cotopaxi, Helly Hansen, and Peter Millar, with budget friendly Port Authority styles for larger staff orders. Every brand in the category is decorated with the same in-house embroidery process.

Which softshell brands suit an office versus a team?

Peter Millar, Patagonia, and The North Face carry the polished cut that client-facing staff and executive gifts call for. Under Armour and Nike bring the stretch and athletic fit coaches and players want on the sideline, and both groups take the same embroidered logo.

Can we mix softshell styles or brands in 1 order?

Yes, organizations regularly combine a polished collared softshell for leadership with an athletic style for coaches or field staff in the same order, and many add a matching softshell vest for indoor days. Minimums apply per individual style, with any combination of sizes counting toward that style's minimum.

Ordering & Who Wears Them

What is the minimum order for custom embroidered softshell jackets?

Embroidered softshell jackets carry a 6 piece minimum per style, and a one-time digitizing charge may apply to convert your logo into a stitch file. Once digitized, your logo is on file for future softshell orders.

How much do custom softshell jackets cost?

Pricing depends on the softshell style, brand, quantity, and logo complexity, so the fastest way to get accurate numbers is to request a quote. Our team returns pricing based on your exact logo and order size.

How long does a custom softshell jacket order take?

Production takes 2-3 weeks from art approval and receipt of deposit or payment arrangement, plus 2-5 business days for ground shipping. Additional time may be needed during peak seasons, and rush options are available by phone or email.

Who wears custom embroidered softshell jackets?

Sales teams, property managers, hotel and venue staff, and anyone client-facing wear embroidered softshells as a jacket that works from the parking lot to the meeting. Coaches, trainers, and players wear them on the sideline and to travel, and schools add them to online team stores so parents and fans can order the same jacket.
