Patches can be made with woven or embroidered techniques: - Woven patches: These are crafted using jacquard looms, intricate printers of thread, which work well for detailed logos or complex gradients. - Embroidered patches: These feature raised threads which add depth and texture, perfect for strong forces or bold motifs. Societal views shape preference; woven patches have a strong foothold in the high fashion industry in Japan and Europe because of their neat appearance, while embroidered patches are commonplace in street and sports apparel because of their tactile nature. Both are highly flexible in adaptaing uniforms, clothing, and accessories throughout the world.
