Sleeves
To attach rank insignia to a uniform, it is recommended that the insignia first be sewn to a piece of navy blue felt. The felt should then be trimmed, leaving a small border which can then be used to sew the insignia to the uniform tunic. 1/4" is a recommended starting point. Not only does this technique provide a sharp look, but it will make attaching the insignia much easier, especially when multiple chevrons are necessary.
