There’s this pretty awesome trend right now, you’ll see it on Instagram and Reddit and anywhere that artists get together online. People are embroidering their own custom jackets with designs that they love, both for passion and to make a profit.

Of course embroidery isn’t a new trend, the first embroidery machine was invented in 1846 and the first embroidery (that we know of) was done in 30,000 BC.

In recent years, hand embroidered custom jackets have made a major comeback as an expression of art and just a craft to do while watching Netflix. We’ve seen some incredible custom embroidered jacket projects across the Internet. Here are a few favourites:
