There was another place that had ordered/made my actual Letterman jacket back in 2005/2006 (Keeping Score Embroidery in Orange) but they no longer handle these kinds of embroidery jobs and recommended Sunbird Embroidery.
Had a bit over 2 weeks to get the rest of my patches put on and the white writing describing my roles and stuff while I was in Band on my Letterman jacket to wear as an Alumni to a Homecoming Game we were invited to play at on Fri September 29. One of the big things was that I had bar patches to put on my letter to show how many times I had re-earned my letter. However the letter already had one blue and white bar sewn on. They reassured me that they could remove the old bar and then put on the four blue and orange bars that I had (I managed to get an extra just for this occurrence of replacing the bar so that all 4 matched) and make it look like the 4 were always there. They were also able to put the accomplishment years on a couple of my patches. (Also got a couple patches put on a 2 bags for my Disney pins.)
They were VERY accommodating for me. Because my timing of my job hours is the exact hours that they are open, she was kind enough to allow me to come in on a Saturday. Not only that, but she was extremely patient with my indecisiveness and also helping me with planning it out perfectly. They even were willing to work on pricing a little bit based on the size of my patches and how much work was actually getting done.
Because I couldn't pick it up due to work scheduling, I had my mom go in for me the Wednesday before the game. When she went in, she was able to pick up the two pin bags. But she had barely noticed that there was no embroidery on my jacket because it had been gotten forgotten by accident. So they then said that they would get my jacket done first thing the following morning. My mom picked up the jacket and all was perfect!
Even with the minor hiccups, I am completely happy. ;) read more
