Our story

Five decades of stitching what others won't.

Campus Chalet has been a family-owned manufacturer of custom embroidery and patches since 1967. We built our name on the projects other shops considered too difficult — intricate police shields, oversized motorcycle rockers, full-garment runs with impossible deadlines. Today, our Johnson City, East Tennessee facility is conveniently located right off Interstate 26. We take pride in keeping production 100% American made.

Why customers stay

The same hands. The same standard. Every order.

Our entire staff has years of experience on the floor — not in front of a screen. That means consistent quality, real answers when you call, and the freedom to take on the unusual jobs other manufacturers turn down.

· Direct embroidery on shirts, caps, jackets, and unusual substrates
· Custom patches with merrowed or laser-cut borders
· Screen printing for soft-hand apparel runs
