When designing a custom parka for a team or an individual athlete, here are some important things to consider:
The Front of the Parka:
Commonly swimmers embroider their names on the right or left chest of the parka. Small logos may be added too!
Lettering Options: On average the names are about 1 inch tall. You may choose from cursive or block lettering. We generally limit characters to 12, but if you have a special need for more letters please contact us directly.
The Back of the Parka:
We use a process called tackle twill to customize the back of our parkas. Click here to learn more about tackle twill and the tackle twill options.
