Left Chest vs Sleeve Embroidery: When to Use Each

Placement matters — here’s how to pick left chest vs sleeve based on how you want it to feel.

PersonalizationThe Craft


Placement matters just as much as design.

Left chest embroidery
- classic and versatile
- works well for names, initials, and symbols
- ideal for everyday wear

Sleeve embroidery
- more personal, less visible
- perfect for dates, coordinates, or short phrases
- feels custom without being front-and-center

Some of our favorite pieces combine both — a subtle chest detail paired with a sleeve element that’s just for the wearer.
