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. | ||||||||||||||||||||
