Here's what we can do
Custom Design
With decades of experience as Graphic Designers we can help to bring your vision to life with custom graphics, logos, typography and branding. We can then digitize these assets to prepare them for embroidery.
Embroidery Services
With state-of-the-art embroidery machines, sewing machines and software, we can tackle any embroidery project from a single patch to a whole clothing line.
Unique Touches
As well as working with used fabrics and clothing, we can use different methods such as distressing, natural dyeing, hand embroidery and free-machine embroidery to ensure our products are all unique.
Sourcing
We love to work with vintage and pre-loved clothing and materials. We have a selection at our studio and will be happy to help source anything that you're after.
Example Projects
-
Vintage Work Jackets
We designed and created several vintage work jackets to be worn by employees to advertise Gesso & Bole's framing workshop.
-
Appliqué & Patches
We created a custom applique patch for an artist. It was based on the design of a ceramic mask that she created.
-
Kids clothing
We were tasked with turning a selection of kids drawings into a range of clothing, accessories, and patches.

A little bit about us
Old Joe Embroidery Co. was started by a pair of washed up Graphic Designers from everywhere and nowhere. After stints working for advertising agencies in NYC, magazines in London, and brands all over the world, we were craving a new creative outlet. We are now happily settled, working from our home studio amongst the trees on Vancouver Island.
Everything is made by us at our studio in Victoria B.C.
We use only vintage and preloved materials where possible.
