Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a custom patch like the Alleghany Co. Sheriff's Dept. design?

Yes. Owl Badges produces custom embroidered patches for sheriff's departments nationwide. You can order this Alleghany County, North Carolina style as shown, or customize the star, the county seal, the flags, and the lettering to fit your own department. There is no setup fee and no minimum-quantity barrier - request a quote to get started.

Can you embroider the crossed US and North Carolina flags accurately?

Yes. The crossed United States and North Carolina flags behind the star are reproduced with full-coverage detail stitching at high density, so the stars, stripes, and the North Carolina flag elements stay crisp even at a 3 to 5 inch patch size. Either flag can be swapped for your own state.

Can you keep the "1859" date and county seal or change them?

Yes. The "ALLEGHANY COUNTY 1859" seal at the center of the star can stay as shown, be updated to your own county and founding year, or be replaced with a different emblem. Our artwork team adjusts the seal and date to match your department before any production begins.

What is the minimum order for a sheriff patch like the Alleghany County design?

There is a low minimum order, with quantity-break pricing that starts as low as 10 pieces. Smaller runs are welcome for a single department or specialty unit, and per-piece pricing drops sharply at 100, 250, 500, and 1,000 units.

How long does production take for a patch like the Alleghany County design?

Custom embroidered patches take approximately 3 to 6 weeks for production and finishing after your proof is approved. Your design is confirmed with a free proof before production begins, so there are no surprises.

Do I need credentials to order an Alleghany Co. Sheriff's Dept. patch with the real agency name?

Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the Alleghany Co. Sheriff's Dept. are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or fictional department designs, and designs renamed to your own department, are welcome without that step.
