The varsity award letter is usually made in the
colors and initials representing the school that the
recipient attends. The letter patch is primarily constructed
of chenille and felt materials. Standard sizes range from
4 inches (102 mm) to 8 inches (203 mm). While 4 inches (102
mm) and 5 inches (127 mm) usually denote Junior Varsity
achievements, 6 inches (152 mm) to 8 inches (203 mm) would
denote plain (Senior) Varsity. The stitching style used for
creating the chenille look is called a moss stitch, while
the outlining sew down is called a chain stitch. The letters
are made by both hand and automated machine depending on the
company manufacturing the emblem. It is a wide spread
commonality that the chenille made on hand machines produce
a finer and tighter knap as compared to the automated
machines. Automated machines will leave the chenille
somewhat of a grid pattern. The automated machines are the
dominant style these days.
