What would the pony embroidery on the chest of a Ralph Lauren Polo shirt cost to duplicate? I want to embroider different figures on polo shirts about that size, maybe a little bigger and am trying to figure out some initial cost figures. Thanks guys.

You'd have to ballpark how many stitches the design is, most shops charge by the thousand stitches. In this type of case, I think since the stitch count would be fairly low, many shops would use a minimum charge instead.

Think of it this way... if they charge $1/thousand stitches and it's a 2000 stitch design, would you do these for $2 each? I wouldn't, not worth the time it takes to hoop, stitch and refold the shirt for $2.... The other thing to consider, especially if it's only a couple of shirts.... would you risk the chance of ruining a $20 shirt to make $2?

Just a couple of things to consider with very small designs...

Keep in mind that this logo may be copyrighted.... duplicating it may get you in trouble if you plan on selling them

Thanks guys, I wouldn't be embroidering the pony on the shirt, just a comparable size and style logo. I’ve actually seen some more complex stitched logos in that style, which I might prefer to use, so I’m guessing the stitch count might run towards 3k. Would most embroiderers be able to execute any logo I design or are there shops that specialize in this kind of detail? Is there a company that is far and away the best? Thanks. Jonathan.
