good idea, but Embroidiery(cant spell) is $$$. My friend subcontracts jobs and gets a good deal, but he still pays out the butt... Keep it small and simple, most places charge by the 1000stitches, which isnt much. Ether that or consider Screenprinting. Which would look absolutly stupid on Jackets but work great on T-Shirts

Keep it Small

I agree that any embroidery should be very small, preferably on the front left side, where you might have a pocket. I think that is the appropriate location for anything like a 1st gen car logo.

If you want to screenprint something larger on the back, I designed something years ago and had some T-shirts and jackets done. This would not work very well on a dark background. Photo attached.

I've worked with a guy (I'm a computer programmer for the USAF) for over 5 years who also owns embroidery shops (named "Southern Threadworks" at the Eastdale Mall in Montgomery, Alabama) for walk-ins, and a nearby separate larger location for big jobs, who can do both embroidery and get silkscreen done.

Let me know what you want, send the pictures via email (specify image size, font, how many colors, etc), and he will get it "digitized" (there's a small charge for this initial digitization). But before he starts, he will give you a quote and will stick to it. You supply the shirts or jackets or hats or you can order from him (he has catalogs). He will give you the BEST price you will find anywhere.

He does shirts/hats/jackets for the USAF and will stand by his work!

Let me know if you are interested and I will give you his site and email and phone number, or you can work through me if you wish.

I will personally guarantee his quality and you will not be disappointed.
