Hand-stitched in beautiful Boise, Idaho.
How it works:
1. Choose your word or phrase. Let us know the text and thread color using the form below. There is a max of 3 words (10 letters each) for this listing.
2. Ship us your sweatshirt. We'll send you an email walking you through the entire shipping process upon payment. Buyer must pay to have their sweatshirts shipped to Ferio before the stitching process can start.
3. We'll start stitching. Each sweatshirt is cranked by hand on a vintage sewing embroidery machine.
4. Receive your personalized sweatshirt. Because this piece is made to order please allow up to 2 weeks for stitching to occur before your item is shipped back to you.
At Ferio we give a new life to old clothing. Each piece is cranked by hand on a 1930's chainstitch sewing machine. Because of this each piece is 100% unique and will have minor "imperfections." These imperfections are what make each piece special. By sending in your sweatshirt you are giving us permission to add chainstitch embroidery onto it and letting us size and stitch it as we see fit.
Why we use the ship and stitch model:
We want to create a customized piece you can treasure forever. We hope you send in some beloved clothing items to get a second life - your dad's old jacket from high school, your mom's cool linen vest from the 90's.... each piece we make tells a story through embroidered stitches. And because customized items can't be returned, the ship and stitch method is a great way to know for sure that your piece will fit beforehand and arrive more special than ever.
FAQ
How long does it take to receive my custom clothing?
Clothing that includes customization typically takes 3-4 weeks for completion before shipping. If you are interested in a rush order reach out to us on our contact page.
How is the clothing made?
There are no computers or digitizing included in our embroidery process. Every embroidered piece is cranked by hand - all handmade on a 1930s vintage chainstitch sewing machine.
How should I care for my embroidered clothing?
Chainstitch embroidery is very durable. Once your item has been chainstitched it is virtually impossible to remove the embroidery. For vintage/upcycled embroidery pieces we recommend washing according to original tag instructions. For Ferio origianl linen tops we recommend washing cold by hand and letting the item dry flat.
