Lake Forest, specifically

Old-money standards, modern color-matching.

Lake Forest is one of the most exacting embroidery audiences in the metro. Country club crests have to be stitched correctly down to the wreath detail. School uniforms have generations of alumni who remember exactly how the chest mark looked in 1985 and notice when it drifts. The Hospital’s embroidered lab coats are held to a presentation standard, not just a hygiene one.

We’ve produced for North Shore institutions for years. We know which thread suppliers ship metallic and specialty colors reliably. We know how to stitch crests with the fine detail that ribbon embroidery and chenille programs need. And we color-match to brand or club PMS standards every time.

Delivery to Lake Forest is twice-weekly from our Pilsen facility, or ship-direct via overnight for time-sensitive jobs.

How it works

Spec on Monday, sample by Wednesday, delivered to Lake Forest by Friday.

Send us the artwork or the crest reference. We quote the same business day. For fine-detail crest work, we run a sample piece before production — every club we work with insists on it, and we do too. Production runs at our Pilsen facility with twice-weekly delivery routes to the North Shore.

For ongoing club programs, we stock blanks in our facility and embroider on demand. Restocking is invisible to your members: they see the same crest, the same fit, the same quality, year after year.
