There is a particular kind of nervousness that comes with ordering something custom online. You have a picture in your head. You hand over a name or a date, you pay, and then you wait, hoping the thing that arrives matches the thing you imagined. With hand embroidery the stakes feel higher, because you know a person is making it, not a printer.
This is an honest guide to ordering a custom embroidered piece from us: what hand embroidery actually looks like up close, what to send so the artisan gets it right, and how to set your expectations so the parcel that lands is the one you hoped for.
What custom means at Vee Threads
Custom here means a name, initials, or a meaningful date stitched onto a tee or sweatshirt by hand. You choose the wording, the thread colour, and where it sits. Each piece is made to order by one of our artisans, so your tee is stitched for you, not pulled from a pre-printed shelf.
Expectation versus reality: handmade is not a machine print
A hand-embroidered name has slightly raised stitches you can feel, a little thread sheen, and tiny human variations no two pieces share exactly. That texture is the value, not a flaw. If you are expecting the dead-flat, pixel-identical look of a screen print, hand embroidery will surprise you. It has a depth print cannot fake.

What to send when you order
Three things make or break a custom order. Send the exact spelling you want, including capital letters and any punctuation. Tell us your thread colour and roughly where you want it placed. If you have a reference image of a style you like, attach it. Clear instructions are the difference between a guess and a match.
How proofs and approval work
Details specific to your order, including any preview step and your timeline, come through in your order confirmation email after you buy. If you want to confirm the spelling, thread colour, or design before you place the order, message us first at abdvikashtomar@gmail.com or +91 95285 83327 and we will walk you through it.
How long a custom piece takes
A custom piece takes longer than a ready-made one, because it is embroidered by hand from scratch rather than picked off a shelf. Your confirmation email has the make-time and dispatch window for your order. If you need it by a specific date, message us before ordering so we can tell you honestly whether it is possible.
Custom Name and Initials Sweatshirt
What we can and cannot stitch
We embroider names, initials, dates, and short words in the colour and placement you choose, on tees (240 GSM cotton) and heavier sweatshirts (400 GSM). What we will not copy is another brand's logo or a licensed character. That is someone else's trademark, and stitching it would not be honest work. Original, personal, and meaningful is exactly our lane.
A quick checklist before you order
- Double-check the spelling, letter by letter.
- Decide your thread colour.
- Note where you want the embroidery placed.
- Attach a reference image if you have one.
- If timing matters, message us before you buy.
Frequently asked questions
Can I see the design before it is stitched?
Check your order confirmation email for the details on your specific order. If you want to confirm anything before buying, message us at abdvikashtomar@gmail.com and we will help.
Will my piece look exactly like the photo?
It will be made to the same standard, by hand. Because each piece is stitched individually, expect the small, characterful variations of handwork rather than a print-perfect copy.
Can I have a name in a specific colour?
Yes. Tell us the thread colour you want when you order, and where you would like the name placed.
What if I need it by a certain date?
Message us before you order at +91 95285 83327. We will tell you honestly whether your date is doable.
Do you stitch brand logos or characters?
No. We make original, personal pieces, not copies of other brands' trademarks or licensed characters.
