Hi Bryan. In theory you can embroider any jacket; it's just a matter of how it will impact the performance. This jacket is not waterproof, so poking holes in it will not affect its performance in the wet. However, you will be adding cold spots by embroidering it. The same principle applies to any sewen through down jacket. Every time you put a hole in the jacket and pinch the insulation, you create a spot with less insulation, hence less heat retention, thus more cold. That being said, if you're just going to use this for bumming around town, then you probably won't care if the insulation is slightly pinched on your trek between the car and work. If you like the jacket, then go for it.
