Race Suit Embroidery
Discussion
Itll be expensive and it should only be through the outermost layer, making retro-enbroidery difficult.
AWS, Stand21 or maybe Sparx could probably do it, although I am not certain that they will work on someone elses suit. Better to get FIA compliant patches made at Hot-Stictch and then have these sewn own with compliant thread.

I bought some Nomex threads to do patches on my embroidery machine but its not really that cheap to do by the time I have digitised and tested the file. All the ones you see done will have been embroidered on the outer layer only before the garment is finally sewn together as you cannot stich through the Nomex inner layers.
If your want it embroidered and legal without question, it needs to be made new with the embroidery I'm afraid.
Best option for retro decalling a suit is the iron on cloth option. It doesn't ultimately last as long and needs to be done right to last anyway but looks good when done. Ray Grimes (google him) has done a few and they look and work very well and keep the suit legal.

I had a suit ruined (well, rendered un-approved) by a company who said they knew what they were doing - only to return it with the stitching going all the way through. GPR at Silverstone do masses of embroidery for loads of teams and so long as you have it done on a new suit, its not particularly expensive.I originally enquired about this when I bought a suit from AWS last year. Effectively the answer was no unless you're willing to fork out for a custom made suit.
However, I have just bought an Alpinestars suit and would like it printed (as in iron-on designs/logos but done professionally). It should look good done properly but is this legal for racing in the UK?
