Felt Applique

Keen on a custom rugby jersey? Maybe you’re after that classic varsity Jacket look?

Whatever your customisation needs, we’re sure you’ll love our felt and twill applique services.

With unique, eye-catching designs there’s no better way to make a lasting impression. More cost-effective than large embroidered designs and offering greater longevity than printed ones, our appliques are the perfect blend of affordability and durability.

Why Choose Custom Clothing for Applique?

Custom Clothing brings unparalleled expertise and experience to every project.
Here’s why we’re New Zealand’s go-to choice for all your applique needs:

Expertise and Quality

Established in 2006, our team of professionals have decades of experience with felt and twill appliques.

Range of Products

We can put our appliques on pretty much any garment. Some of our most popular options include letterman Jackets, hoodies and sweatshirts.

Durability and Aesthetics

We use the highest quality materials to ensure our felt and twill appliques are not only visually appealing but also built to last.

Local Expertise

As a trusted local provider in Auckland and across New Zealand, we’ve maintained a strong reputation for excellence.

What is Felt Applique?

This is a straightforward technique where felt pieces are layered on fabric to create bold designs. This method is the go-to option for adding a little texture and colour to your apparel. While it’s ideal for logos, emblems, and other decorative elements, it can be hard to cut intricate details from felt. This means we recommend felt applique for thick, simple designs like large block letters and numbers.

What is Twill Applique?

Twill applique takes customisation to the next level, with a sleek, polished finish that’s perfect for sports uniforms, hoodies, and jackets. We use only the most durable, woven twill fabric, which delivers a professional look with a shiny finish and clean cut. Now, we recognise that twill may be a more expensive option than felt, but plenty of Kiwis find that its aesthetic appeal and durability make it worth the extra cost.

Our Applique Process

At Custom Clothing, our applique process is meticulous and customer-focused to guarantee the best results. Here's how we do it:

Quote: Contact us with your design and we’ll provide a quote within three working hours.
Design Consultation: We’ll talk over the necessary details to help bring your vision to life.
Cutting and Preparation: Our precise laser-cutting technique ensures each piece is perfect.

Application: Our skilled production team carefully layer and stitch each piece ensuring a flawless finish.

Application

Not sure if felt and twill appliques are right for you? While you can put them on anything you like, kiwis often find the following look amazing with a little customisation:

Post-match Team Uniforms: Create a team kit that will stand out from the crowd.
Corporate Apparel: Create professional and polished branding for your whole office.
School Leavers Clothing: Represent your school with pride using our custom appliques.
Personalised Clothing for Events: Applique provides a high-end look and finish, making the occasion even more memorable.

Hananui Lodge
 We had a wonderful experience dealing with Stephen. He listened to what we would need in a shirt for the heat and movement and understood that I had to get everything signed off from the owners. The product itself is great, the cleaners love them and so do management. Would highly recommend. 
Stirrups Equestrian
 What amazing customer service and efficiency from Leon at Custom Clothing. We arrived to them with a last minute shirt printing job and they went above and beyond to help us out. Not only did we love our final product but we will definitely be using them in the future. Thanks Custom Clothing! 
Saskia Henry
 Custom Clothing has been fantastic to work with. Stephen provided clear and efficient responses to our questions and even sent a sample of the base t-shirts that would be used so we could see the material quality. Once we paid, production only took 11 days (7 working days). The final products are excellent and well executed - we are extremely happy! Thanks team! 
Rachel Simpson
 Marco was very helpful and easy to deal with, helped me get the jackets and design sorted quickly and painlessly. The price was also the best I could find for the same jacket! Would happily recommend Custom Clothing. Have since returned several times for new clothing and each time I've had great service! Quick turnaround, attention to detail, and very helpful in making a difficult colour work. 
Aedeen Boadita
 We ordered branded black aprons and pink jackets for our annual charity collection. They were perfect - looked good and the branding and tag line really stood out. Leon was amazingly responsive and helpful with advice and options throughout the ordering process and everything was delivered within a fairly tight timeframe. Highly recommend. 
President Golden Key Canterbury
 It was so incredible working with Leon and Marco! They were extremely patient, understood exactly what I needed, and were completely professional the entire time. I couldn't have asked for a better team of people to work with on the bulk t-shirt order. The shirts are of high quality and beautifully made. Thank you team! 
Sarah Woods
 Custom clothing have brilliant customer service! They are quick to reply to email questions and are quick to make changes to images and designs.

 Excellent service, quick response/replies and very informative. Have ordered multiple sports team apparel & products from Custom Clothing on multiple occasions and they have exceeded my expectations every time. Very happy and satisfied customer, we will be returning to them again that's for sure! Fast, efficient, patient and polite considering the long wait I had been giving them. 
Lauren Lipa
 From my first phone enquiry through to the delivery, I could not fault the service of these guys. Leon went out of his way multiple times to ensure that we were satisfied that we have weighed out our options, and got the perfect finished product. I am very impressed, and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Highly recommend!

 Our company recently ordered a batch of embroidered polo shirts from Custom Clothing for a New Zealand-based partner and we were delighted with the result. The garments were of good quality and the support we received throughout the process was exceptional. Special thanks to Marco. He was professional, prompt, and eager to assist. I'd be happy to recommend Custom Clothing in future. 
Holly Mackie
 Absolute joy to deal with this company - they were very responsive and efficient, we had quotes, mock ups and orders placed and organised by the end of the day I first emailed. They worked to our tight schedule and provided a great quality product. Would definitely recommend and will be using in future!

 Great friendly customer service, quick response to all communications, a great high quality product at a great price! Clothing order was finalised and received much quicker than I would have expected. We were very impressed with their service and will be ordering more from this company in the future. Definitely recommend. 
Caleb Wilkinson
 Honestly, can completely understand all the reviews below mine and likely still to come above mine. So easy to deal with, so transparent the whole way through, and we had what seemed like an unreasonable deadline. They got our shirts to us before our deadline, and the quality is great! Thank you very much Leon and everyone else that would have been involved! 
Leah Breeds
 I have used Custom Clothing several times now for bulk orders of T-Shirts for our cast. The service is amazing - can't recommend highly enough. Leon is very accommodating, easy to deal with and always answers questions quickly and offers advice. Latest order arrived today - once again very happy with the finished product both in terms of printing and quality of the shrits themselves. Will definitely use again. 
Grace Geck
 I purchased school leavers hoodies and the quality and service i experienced at Custom Clothing was perfect. Had excellent experience with Stephen, was very prompted with getting back to me and overall really easy to deal with. Really fast service time and pricing was great. Was great to see that they were persistant in getting the design exactly how i wanted it, and the finished product turned out perfect. 
Michele Caminos
 Marco and team have been just fantastic. I wasn't sure how to go about this effort to make a small number of shirts. They were so responsive and supportive, giving me all the options available and helping me figure out the right design. They were quick and so easy to work with! 
Jess O
 We've used Custom Clothing as our preferred supplier for our bulk 'Hoodie' order for years and each year they manage to top their already incredible service. Leon and the team are super easy to work with, very helpful, keep the costs low and the quality high. Our order came quicker than expected and we couldn't be more happy with the results. Would definitely recommend! 
Wade Brick And Blocklaying Ltd
 Communication was awesome, replied quickly with alternative options which would work best for both of us and once we were happy with the embroidery we gave him the go ahead and had our uniform sent to us within 2 weeks!! So far all the Hi-Viz gear is withstanding the tough elements we are putting them through and the formal wear looks professional! Would highly recommend! 
Cherry Rainbow
 LOVE the new T-shirts, aprons and sweaters that we got for our entertainment company. Leon was super fast to reply to our emails and very helpful in finding the right solution for us. The T-shirts and beautiful quality and have a great colour range. They only took a week from ordering to my door too! Thanks so much guys!

 You can't expect a better service than Custom Clothing! Communicating with them, especially Marco, is extremely smooth and always gives a professional service. Their ordering process is also very professional. They provide the finished product image so it's easy for us to imagine how it would look like. I am extremely happy with Custom Clothing and will absolutely recommend to other people.
