How to create a letterman jacket

Step 1

Choose Jacket Style

Creating your own unique custom varsity letterman jacket begins with your personal choice of style. Choose your jacket and style. Most students will select a custom varsity letterman jacket similar to or even identical to other varsity letterman jackets of students in their school. Students make their varsity letterman jacket unique by adding chenille letters, custom patches, embroidery, numbers, mascots, name, and emblems.
Step 2

Decide what awards you would like on your custom varsity letterman jacket. Make a list of everything you want on the front, back, and sleeves. Decide if you want chenille names arched up, arched down, or straight. Do you want your school mascot on your custom varsity letterman jacket? In what order do you want items listed? Do you want some custom embroidery on your letterman jacket?
Step 3

Chenille Letters

Decide what type of chenille letters you would like to have on your custom letterman varsity jacket. Give considerable thought to designing custom chenille names and letters for your custom varsity letterman jacket. Custom chenille letters will help your jacket stand out from others in your school. Choices include single or double felt background, color of top felt and bottom felt, color of the chenille letters, chenille letter border, font type, and font size.
Step 4

Order your custom varsity letterman jacket. Make sure all chenille letters are spelled correctly. Double check that custom items ordered are the way you want them. Pay attention to the details.
Step 5

Wait to receive your custom varsity letterman jacket. It often takes up to two or three weeks to receive your jacket after it is ordered. Plan ahead to receive your jacket before the coming of the cold winter months.

How to Clean a School Letterman Jacket

Things You'll Need:

Bowl

Water

Cloth

Baby shampoo

Laundry detergent

Step 1

Fill a bowl with hot water and squeeze a few drops of baby shampoo into the water. Swish around with your hand to distribute the soap.

Step 2

Submerge a clean cloth in the water and wring out until damp.

Step 3

Wipe down the leather arms of the jacket, beginning at the top and working your way to the bottom. Repeat until all traces of dirt have been removed.

Step 4

Rinse out the cloth and wipe again to remove any soap suds.

Step 5

Brush the wool-fabric portion of the jacket with a lint brush to remove any fuzz. If there are areas on the jacket that need to be spot-treated, put a tiny amount of liquid laundry detergent on a wet cloth and stroke the soiled area in a single direction until the spot is removed. Rinse the cloth and wipe again.

Step 6

Take the jacket to a professional cleaner if there are further stains that need to be addressed.
