Why Choose Machine Embroidery Over Print?

• Raised 3D texture — real thread you can feel, offering a luxury look that screen printing cannot match.
• Never fades, cracks, or peels — our high-quality embroidery outlasts any printed design, maintaining its crisp detail for years.
• Premium craftsmanship — each piece is meticulously stitched to order in our boutique studio.
• Boutique quality — the monochromatic deep blue stitching provides a designer aesthetic that feels like a bespoke heirloom.

Design Details

This design features a high-stitch-count illustration of a classic sailboat navigating through intricate, choppy ocean waves. Rendered in a stunning Deep Royal Blue (#2B54A3), the embroidery measures approximately 20cm x 15cm, making it a bold statement piece for the center chest. The design includes flowing cursive script reading “North Bay Leisure Club” and a classic serif font for “San Francisco Bay,” capturing every fine detail of the rigging and flying bird silhouettes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the design printed on the sweatshirt?

No, this is 100% machine-embroidered. We use premium, high-sheen polyester thread to create a textured, durable design that looks much more expensive and high-end than a standard screen print.

How do I add my name to the sleeve?

To add personalization, select the “Sleeve Embroidery” option before adding the item to your cart. You can then enter the name or short quote you would like stitched on the cuff for an additional $5.

What does the ‘2.32’ on the sail represent?

The ‘2.32’ is a vintage-inspired detail common in classic yacht racing and maritime numbering, adding to the authentic “old money” sailing aesthetic of the North Bay Leisure Club design.

Is this sweatshirt unisex?

Yes, our sweatshirts use standard unisex sizing. For women, your regular size will be a comfortable, relaxed fit. If you are looking for the popular “oversized” trend look, we suggest ordering one or two sizes up.

How long will it take to receive my order?

Because each item is custom embroidered to order in our studio, please allow 3-5 business days for processing before your order ships.
