Ashley,
The end result can only be as good as the art you have to work with.
Digitizing from a scan of an embroidered garment is not a fun experience
(been there more times than I wish), and the poor condition of the
existing embroidery would eliminate this option if it were my project. I
would start by asking if artwork is available for these 3 logos. If they
are common brands, it's likely they can be sourced. If not, then I would
suggest having them recreated by a graphic artist. Then they need to be
digitized. With a stitch eraser you can remove the old designs within a
reasonable amount of time and then stitch on the new ones. It appears he
places a great deal of value on this older uniform so I wouldn't advise
cutting corners to save him money. Doing it right will make it look good
as new and he will walk away happy with a uniform that will last many
more years.

Subject: [amayausers] redo a design
Hello Everybody,
This is Ashley from SHIRTS,ETC. I have a little problem, and I wonder if
someone could help me?
A customer wanted stripes added to his karate uniform. When he came to
pick
it up he thought he'd like all of the suit to look as bright and new.
Now this
is a very expensive but older uniform. The original embroidered brand
logos
(there are 3!) have washed out and faded. Some of the stitches are
actually
missing. I'm wondering is there a possible way to digitize this pattern?
I think
there must be some way to scan the logo or maybe convert a photo to the
correct
format (like .ofm). Do you think this can be done? If so, would I need
to
take out all the stitches that existed before since they aren't even? I
hope
there is a way. Thank You
