I'd love to replicate an old school Harley racing sweater but I'm betting they won't touch anything that looks like a trademark infringement.

If you are doing a one off for yourself, it should be fine, it hand made and not mass production. As long as your not doing a run of them.

Also you'd be supporting a local business.

BTW I saw HD was making something like this now, but but all "imported"...

Expect Chenille about 12" by 4" near 120.00 which is reasonable from quotes I have gotten on some projects.

Also note the sweater are near 350.00 without anything art.

Guys if your are taking the time to make something like this consider some custom art or more obscure cool brands.

HD is not what it was anymore so you be calling out/back to something that is just an idea now... same for Indian Motorcycles.

I would sooner have an Excelsior jersey made. Maybe even Ranger or other extinct brands.

There is also this company that does Felted letters and some custom art.

There are some folks on etsy that may not have a problem doing it

What a great idea! I just sold a set of Ranger decals. I’d love to have a jacket or jersey with that logo or other extinct brands. I happened to go in a shop a few yrs ago that did custom embroidery. They were doing hats at the time. They had a machine hooked to a computer. They did the graphics on the computer, pushed the button and the machine put the logo on in short order. It was amazing to watch. Anything is possible anymore.

I always thought there was felt letters stitched on, flat stitch and loop embroidered lettering.
i had A few custom jerseys done by Soigneur in New Zeland, the lettering was actually woven in, hence the slight stagger in curves and slants
Oregoncyclewear is another, cima coppi maybe too

The tall puffy loops in the fill area looks like chenille which is still used on modern varsity/letterman jackets, and the border looks like chain stitching. I know dozens of shops that can do the chenille work but only a couple that still do vintage style chain-stitching.

Here is jacket being made for my car club. The “puffy” fill area seen here is all chainstitch…

You can see the chain stitch machine they use in the last photo with the rotating needle bar, which is controlled manually. Chain-stitching is a true lost art in my opinion.
