Handmade Monogramming
By Kabbaz-Kelly Fine Custom Clothiers

We have been monogramming for decades using old, traditional hand methods. All monograms are hand-drawn and then hand-embroidered using the finest French embroidery cotton, DMC. Prior to making the actual embroidery, special complicated designs such as Row 3-Center can be e-mailed or faxed to the client for approval.

Monograms can be done in virtually any color. They can match the fabric, be slightly darker or lighter than the fabric, or be done in a completely contrasting color.

Due to the fact that all designs are hand-drawn onto the fabric, there is virtually no design or lettering style which cannot be done. Most tasteful initial designs are slightly larger than ¼" in height. Initials can be done with or without periods and with or without opening & closing carats.

Unlike machine embroidery which can only follow computer-generated lettering styles and usually needs a backing fabric to prevent wrinkling, hand monograms are done one stitch at a time using a sewing needle and magnifying glass. An average hand-made monogram requires about an hour to make and, as such, are expensive. Prices are provided for the all monograms in the chart except the double helix. This and other unique styles are done by quotation and range from $80 up. If you would like a quotation on a special design, please use the Contact Form and select 'special order'.

Please note: The "AKS" style monogram is done with the surname initial in the center. Ordering more than one or two monogrammed pieces will add from one to three weeks to the delivery of your order.
