What Is Tackle Twill?

Tackle twill is a kind of embroidery method that involves sewing custom-cut twill patches or appliques onto fabric. This method is used most often for letters or numbers, but any shape or design can be custom cut and sewn onto a garment.

It’s one of the most durable customization methods available. Even the fabric and patches are made out of is a tough polyester-twill, a material that’s built to last.

The fabric is also known for its signature look–a diagonal, ribbed pattern that is created when the fabric is woven.

Durability is even built in during the application process–tackle twill appliques are stitched around the edges, so it’s extremely tough to remove.

What Can I Use Tackle Twill Embroidery For?

Tackle twill can be used to bring life into custom garments like heavyweight sweatshirts, hats, jackets, or athletic wear. We can use virtually any typeface, character, shape, or design to make your tackle twilled apparel. There a variety of ways you can use tackle twill, but these tend to be the most popular:

Sports Teams

If you’re going to see tackle twill on custom apparel, you’re probably looking at the names and numbers on sports jerseys. Tackle twill is tough and can last through multiple seasons and games. A lot of teams buy tackle twill jerseys, sweatshirts, and duffle bags at the start of their seasons.

How Does It Compare To Other Customization Options?
