Custom Logo Windproof Fleece Jacket Wholesale for Branded Bulk Programmes
A windproof fleece jacket only keeps its wind blocking performance when the logo method respects the face fabric. This page settles the question buyers ask first: which decoration method should you use, and does it open a wind path through the wind blocking layer. We manufacture 200 to 300 GSM windproof fleece jackets with a bonded softshell face, in house cut and sew, and Tajima embroidery in Tagum City and Cagayan de Oro.

Wind blocking fleece and the decoration conflict
Windproof fleece blocks wind because the outer face is a tight woven layer, often bonded to the fleece back. That same face is the surface your logo is applied to. The decoration method decides whether the wind blocking layer stays intact at the logo, so the method is a technical decision before it is a design decision.
A bonded softshell face carries the wind resistance. The face is a dense woven shell that stops moving air, and the fleece back holds warm air against the body. A needle passing through that face leaves a small hole. One hole is harmless, but a dense crest, a large fill area, or 3D puff embroidery leaves a grid of holes across the wind blocking layer, and that grid becomes a wind path where the jacket is most exposed.
Surface methods behave differently. A woven patch is a separate piece bonded or stitched at its edge, a silicone badge is molded and heat applied so it seals the surface, and a heat transfer is pressed on without a needle. Screen print lays ink on the surface with no holes, though the ink can stiffen and crack on a face fabric that flexes. Match the method to the placement: keep the surface methods on the chest and reserve embroidery for the sleeve, the nape, and the lower panels.
Embroidery pierces the face fabric and can open a wind path
Each needle penetration passes through the wind blocking face layer. A small, low density crest on a sleeve is seldom a problem. A dense chest crest, a large fill, or 3D puff embroidery across the chest can open a real wind path at the logo. For programmes where wind blocking is critical, we apply a woven patch or a heat transfer on the chest, because both sit on the surface without a needle grid, and we keep embroidery on the sleeve and the lower panels.
Bonded softshell face
A dense woven face bonded to a fleece back carries the wind resistance. It takes a patch, a badge, or a transfer cleanly and holds the seal when the decoration stays on the surface.
200 to 300 GSM
The weight ladder runs from a light indoor layer at 200 GSM to a cold export weight at 300 GSM, with the wind blocking face options consistent across the range.
Anti pill surface
The brushed face resists pilling so the decoration area stays clean through repeated washing, which keeps a chest crest or a patch edge looking sharp.
SBS zippers and in house cut and sew
SBS zippers, a draft flap, and full garment assembly run under one roof, so the fit and the decoration are controlled on the same floor.
Decoration method matrix for windproof fleece jackets
This table maps each decoration method to its best placement, its effect on the wind blocking face fabric, its practical minimum per logo, and how it holds up. Read the face fabric column first. It decides whether the wind performance survives the logo.
| Method | Best placement | Effect on the wind blocking face fabric | Practical minimum | Durability note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat embroidery | Sleeve, nape, lower panels. Chest only on low density crests. | Needle enters the face layer and leaves a fine grid of holes at the logo. A dense chest fill opens a wind path, a sleeve crest does not. | 20 pieces | High. Thread holds for the life of the garment and survives repeated washing. |
| 3D puff embroidery | Sleeve, back yoke, lower panels. Avoid the chest. | Needle plus raised foam makes the largest wind path of any method. Best kept away from the chest on a wind critical jacket. | 50 pieces | High, though the raised foam can flatten with heavy pressing over time. |
| Woven patch | Left chest, chest centre, back yoke. | Woven on a separate loom and applied to the surface. A heat applied patch leaves no needle path, and a sewn border only pierces at the edge. | 50 pieces | High. Fine detail reads cleanly and the emblem holds its shape across washes. |
| Silicone badge | Left chest, sleeve. | Molded and heat applied, so the emblem seals the surface with no needle grid and no wind path. | 100 pieces | Very high. Resists moisture, oils, and abrasion with a modern raised finish. |
| Heat transfer vinyl | Chest centre, back yoke. | Pressed onto the face with no needle holes. Heat can lightly affect the face bond, and a stretch can lift an edge over time. | 20 pieces | Good. Wash inside out and avoid direct ironing on the transfer. |
| Screen print | Back panel, lower panels. | Ink sits on the surface with no needle holes, but a stiff ink deposit can crack on a face fabric that flexes during movement. | 50 pieces | Moderate. Best for broad flat shapes with a limited ink count on low flex areas. |
We test the decoration on the actual face fabric
We do not approve a logo method on paper alone. Before a bulk run starts, we apply the chosen method to a swatch of the same wind blocking face fabric and inspect it. For embroidery we check density, topping, and whether the needle grid shows. For a patch or a badge we check adhesion, edge lift, and peel strength. For a transfer we check that the face bond is not disturbed.
The strike off is your approval gate. You see the real logo on the real face fabric, in the real colour, before a single jacket is decorated. If the proof shows a wind path you are not comfortable with on the chest, we switch the chest to a woven patch and move the embroidery to the sleeve. That change costs a short proof stage, not a full restart.
To review how the garment itself is built alongside the decoration, see our men's technical micro-polar fleece jacket and the wider windproof fleece coat supplier range.
Where to place your logo on a windproof fleece jacket
Placement decides as much as method does. Each position below carries a working size and a note on how it interacts with the wind blocking face fabric.
Left chest crest
Up to 90 mm wide
The standard corporate position, above the pocket line. On a wind critical jacket use a woven patch or a transfer here rather than embroidery.
Chest centre mark
Up to 120 mm wide
Best for a horizontal wordmark. A heat transfer keeps the face intact and reads cleanly across the centre panel.
Left sleeve badge
Up to 70 mm wide
Low wind exposure, so embroidery is fine here, including a denser crest or a small 3D puff mark.
Back yoke panel
Up to 260 mm wide
A large statement area across the shoulders. A patch or a transfer keeps the face sealed and avoids a needle grid.
Nape brand mark
Up to 60 mm wide
A small mark centred below the collar. Low wind exposure, so embroidery holds well and wears cleanly.
Artwork requirements for wholesale logo decoration
Send the right file and the proof stage is short. Send a low resolution image and we redraw it first, which adds a step. This is what we need and how we handle it.
- Accepted file types Adobe Illustrator (AI), encapsulated PostScript (EPS), scalable vector graphics (SVG), and vector PDF. Raster PNG and JPEG are accepted and redrawn. An existing DST, EMB, or PES stitch file is welcome if a previous supplier released it.
- Vector preferred Vector art scales without loss, so it gives the cleanest digitising and the sharpest patch weave. Send the vector master first whenever one exists.
- Digitising A new logo is converted into a stitch file, a patch weave file, or a badge mould. The setup is quoted once per logo and per method, and it is not repeated on a reorder of the same logo.
- Color matching to Pantone Send the Pantone reference in TCX or coated form. We match thread, patch yarn, vinyl, and screen ink to it, and confirm the shade on a physical strike off because colour on a raised face reads slightly darker.
- Proofing before bulk A digital proof of the method, size, and placement arrives within a day. A physical strike off on the actual face fabric takes 3 to 5 business days, and the bulk window starts only after you approve it.
Minimums, sampling, lead time, and payment
The essentials buyers ask for first. Final pricing depends on quantity, fleece weight, and decoration method, so send your brief for an exact figure.
Low minimum per style and colourway. Practical decoration minimums vary by method, and we will recommend the closest method that fits your order size.
A pre production sample with the decoration applied lets a committee check fabric, fit, zip action, and logo placement before the bulk run.
Bulk manufacturing after sample approval, depending on order size and decoration. Digital mockups are typically done within a day.
Official invoices issued in your chosen currency through the header switcher. BIR 2307 withheld tax certificates accepted. Size sorted polybagged cartons.
How decoration is priced and repeated on a wholesale run
Setup. A one time setup applies per new logo and per method, covering the digitising, the patch weave file, or the badge mould. The setup is quoted with your first order, not hidden inside the unit cost.
Repeat order handling. A reorder of the same logo skips setup because the production file already exists. The repeat moves straight to decoration and ships inside the standard bulk window, which keeps seasonal top ups fast.
File retention. We retain the digitised stitch file, the patch weave file, the badge mould, and the screen for the life of the programme, along with the colour reference, so a later run matches the original.
Mixed logo runs. A single order can carry more than one logo. We sort the run by logo, by size, and by colour on the packing list, and the decoration minimum applies per logo rather than per order. Mixed runs add a short setup stage but do not extend the bulk window once approved.
Documentation and compliance for wholesale buyers
Beyond the sewing room, we prepare the paperwork that a corporate finance team and an export broker both need. We state only what we can back with a document per order.
Documentation per order
Each order ships with an official sales invoice, a packing list, and the decoration specification that was approved on the strike off. Certified yarn options carry their own papers.
Recycled and organic options
Recycled polyester options certified under the Global Recycled Standard are available with transaction certificates supplied per order. Organic cotton options follow the same model. See our certifications overview.
Export paperwork
Export cartons, packing lists, and shipping documents for overseas orders. Fleece knit goods move under HS 6110, and we coordinate with your freight forwarder.
Philippine corporate terms
BIR 2307 withheld tax certificates accepted. Registered apparel manufacturer in the Philippines with official invoicing for procurement and audit trails.
Review the frameworks we work to: GOTS certification, OCS certification, ISO 14001 certification, and CSDDD corporate sustainability due diligence.

Windproof fleece jacket wholesale FAQ
The questions a buyer asks before committing a wholesale decoration programme.
Which decoration method survives washing best on a windproof fleece jacket?
Silicone badges and woven patches hold up best across repeated washing, because the emblem is a separate component bonded or sewn to the garment. Heat transfer vinyl holds well when applied at the correct temperature and washed inside out, though it can lift at the edges if the chest is stretched hard. Embroidery thread lasts for the life of the garment, but the needle holes in the face fabric remain, so the washing question and the wind question are separate.
Does embroidery on the chest let wind through?
Each needle penetration opens a small path through the face fabric. A single low density chest crest has an effect most wearers will not notice. A dense design, a large fill area, or 3D puff embroidery across the chest opens a bigger wind path. For programmes where wind blocking is critical we recommend a woven patch or a heat transfer on the chest, and reserve embroidery for the sleeve, the nape, and the lower panels.
Should we choose a woven patch or embroidery for our logo?
Choose a woven patch when the logo sits on the chest of a wind critical jacket, when the artwork has fine detail, or when the emblem must read cleanly on the face. Choose embroidery when the logo sits on a sleeve, a nape, or a lower panel, or when the programme is small and you want the lowest setup. Many programmes combine both, with a patch on the chest and embroidery on the sleeve.
Is there a digitising charge for a new logo?
A one time setup applies per new logo and per method, because the artwork must be converted into a stitch file, a patch weave file, or a badge mould. The setup is quoted with your order and is not repeated on a reorder of the same logo. Send vector art in AI, EPS, SVG, or PDF and the setup is straightforward. Raster PNG or JPEG is accepted and redrawn before we quote.
Can you match our Pantone color for the logo?
Yes. Send the Pantone reference in TCX or coated form and we match thread, patch yarn, vinyl, and screen ink to it. Colour on a raised fleece face reads slightly darker than on a flat sheet, so we confirm the shade on a physical strike off before the bulk run.
What is the minimum quantity per logo method?
The order minimum is 20 pieces. Practical decoration minimums sit higher for some methods because of tooling. Flat embroidery and heat transfer run from 20 pieces. Woven patches and screen print are practical from 50 pieces. Molded silicone badges are practical from 100 pieces. If a method minimum sits above your order size, we will recommend the closest method that fits.
Can we mix sizes and mix logos in one order?
Yes. A single order can carry a full size run and more than one logo. We sort the run by logo, by size, and by colour on the packing list, and the decoration minimum applies per logo rather than per order. Mixed logo runs add a short setup stage but do not change the bulk window once approved.
What artwork formats do you accept?
Vector files are preferred. Send Adobe Illustrator (AI), encapsulated PostScript (EPS), scalable vector graphics (SVG), or a vector PDF. Raster PNG or JPEG is accepted and redrawn into a production ready file before the proof stage. For embroidery we also accept an existing DST, EMB, or PES stitch file if a previous supplier released it.
How long does a decoration proof take before bulk?
A digital proof of the placement and the method arrives within a day. A physical strike off, which is the logo applied to the actual face fabric, takes 3 to 5 business days. The bulk decoration and sewing window of 7 to 12 business days starts after you approve the strike off.
Can you repeat the same logo on a reorder?
Yes. We retain the digitised stitch file, the patch weave file, the badge mould, and the screen for the life of the programme. A reorder of the same logo skips the setup and the digitising stage, so it moves straight to decoration and ships inside the standard window. We also hold the colour reference so the reorder shade matches the original run.
