Sew it on Your Letterman Jacket<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1865, Harvard University\u2019s varsity baseball players embroidered the letter \u201cH\u201d to their jerseys, thereby creating the first \u201cletterman jackets.\u201d The trend eventually trickled into high schools with the earliest example appearing in the 1910 Phoenix Union High School yearbook. By 1930, boiled-wool custom varsity jackets with leather sleeves came on the scene. It\u2019s the same style, 90 years later, that we still see in high schools and colleges.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A time-honored tradition that dates back decades, varsity letters and letterman jackets go hand in hand. You may have received a letterman jacket during your time as a student, wearing it on game days or in the halls between classes. If not, you can purchase and customize <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jacketshop.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">letterman jackets<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that feature your school colors online. Traditionally placed on the left chest area of a jacket, sew your varsity letter on yourself or take it to a professional tailor to ensure it\u2019s applied correctly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Add it to a Decorative Piece\u00a0<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another option for what to do with your varsity letter is to add it to your favorite piece of decor. Get creative and sew a varsity letter and patches onto a throw pillow for your bedroom or living space. Or, attach it to a backpack or travel bag to make your mark. A popular option for showcasing your varsity letter is adding it to a favorite blanket or quilt, to create a nostalgic yet trendy piece. Sewing your varsity letter onto keepsakes is a great way to nod to your alma mater, and create your own unique piece of memorabilia.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Put it in Storage<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While displaying your varsity letter is a great way to celebrate your achievement, there may come a time when it\u2019s best to put it away in storage. If you\u2019re choosing to pack up your varsity letter, make sure to store it properly to avoid any deterioration over time. Place it in a secure acid-free storage box or envelope in order to protect it from outside elements. Storing your varsity letter is a proactive way to safeguard your memories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Create a Wall Display<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating a wall display for your varsity letter is an excellent way to spruce up a blank space and showcase your achievements. Start by selecting a location in your home like a hallway, office, or game room. Then, use a combination of frames, shelves, and decor to create an attractive display. Create a gallery wall display of photographs and documents, or showcase various memorabilia like medals, varsity letters, patches, pictures, and pins in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diplomaframe.com\/shadow-box-frames\/keepsake-shadow-box-357818.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keepsake Shadow Box frame<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
