Why Embroidery Outshines Screen Printing and Vinyl Every Time

Why Embroidery Outshines Screen Printing and Vinyl Every Time

Let’s talk about it. When it comes to custom apparel, you’ve got options — but not all customization is created equal. At West & Remount Custom Apparel, we believe in making pieces that last longer than the group chat. That’s why we specialize in high-quality embroidery, and we’re here to break down exactly why it’s worth the investment over screen printing or vinyl.

Whether you're outfitting your business team, planning a family reunion, or just want your name stitched in style — here’s why embroidery wins every time.


1. Embroidery = Long-Term Luxury

Let’s keep it real: screen printing and vinyl can peel, fade, or crack over time — especially after multiple washes. Embroidery? It’s stitched to last a lifetime. We're talking threaded artwork, not plastic sitting on top of fabric. You’ll still be repping that hoodie years down the line — no flakes, no fading.


2. It Looks (and Feels) More Premium

Nothing says “elevated” like raised, textured stitching that feels as good as it looks. Embroidery gives your logo, name, or message a professional, high-end feel — perfect for businesses, brands, and grown folks who want their style to stand out.


3. Embroidery Handles Heat — Literally

If you live in the South like we do, you already know: heat and humidity are not screen printing’s friend. Vinyl melts. Screen prints sweat. But embroidery? Stays strong, no matter the weather. That’s why our Leisure Luxe Towels and The Luxe Fold bandanas are built for cookouts, festivals, and football season.


4. Personalization That Actually Feels Personal

At West & Remount, personalization isn’t just a trend — it’s our thing. Embroidery lets us stitch names, phrases, dates, and designs with depth and texture. And if you want to get fancy? We offer glow-in-the-dark and reflective thread for that extra pop.

Screen printing might let you print a name — but embroidery makes it matter.


5. Versatile for Everyday and Elevated Looks

From branded business polos to birthday towels, wedding party wraps, and Greek-life gear, embroidery can do it all — and make it look good. It works on hats, jackets, towels, bandanas, and more.

We’re not just talking merch — we’re making memories you can wear.


Final Thread: Invest in the Stitch

Sure, vinyl and screen printing might save a few bucks upfront — but embroidery gives you longevity, luxury, and a legacy. If you’re building a brand, celebrating a milestone, or just want to stand out from the crowd, it’s worth going with the real deal.
