Embroidered Rope Logo Hoodie CharcoalChainstitch embroidery has a long and storied history in Western Wear. The first chainstitch embroidery machines were created around 1865 in France, with the intent to replace the long, hard work of hand embroidery. Today, these machines and their craftsmen are hard to find. Our version is a modern machines take on it, yet the fine detail is every bit as clear. Note: unisex, but sold in standard mens sizing. Women typically should order a size down.
