Celebrate Academic Achievement with Custom Book Patches

A book patch is a classic way to recognize academic achievement, reading programs, scholastic clubs and other accomplishments that deserve a place on a varsity letterman jacket. Customize your chenille book patch in your school colors to create a design that fits naturally alongside letters, numbers and other varsity awards.

Our custom chenille book patches are designed for students who want to recognize academic excellence, reading achievements, scholastic organizations and other school accomplishments. The traditional open-book design works well for a wide range of academic programs and activities.

Choose from the available chenille, embroidery and felt colors on the individual product page to coordinate the patch with your school colors or varsity letterman jacket.

Select the Book Patch and choose the available colors and personalization options shown on the product page. If you need a special color combination, lettering arrangement or another adjustment that is not shown in the standard options, include your instructions in the comment box during checkout.

If you are ordering the patch with one of our varsity letterman jackets, we can sew it onto the jacket as part of your order.

The size listed for each patch refers approximately to the outside dimensions of the main chenille design. The top felt extends approximately 0.12 inch beyond the chenille, while the bottom felt extends approximately 0.30 inch beyond the top felt, so the finished patch will be larger than the listed chenille size. Designs using an additional felt layer may be slightly larger.

Book patches can be placed on the front, sleeve or back of a varsity letterman jacket depending on the size of the design and the overall jacket layout. Most designs can also be adjusted approximately 15% larger or smaller when requested.

Our book patches combine chenille, embroidery and layered felt to create the dimensional appearance traditionally associated with varsity letterman jackets and school awards. Embroidered details help define the pages, lettering and other elements of the design.

Varsity Chenille and Apparel has been producing chenille and embroidered products for more than 30 years. Each patch is individually set up and manufactured to create a finished award that reflects the achievement it represents.
