Lamp of Knowledge Activity Patch

Lamp of Knowledge Academic Patch Description

Our lamp of knowledge academic chenille patch is traditionally worn on the sleeve of our letterman jacket or letter sweater and is used to recognize an academic or athletic achievement.  All of our chenille patches and varsity award patches come in three, four, and five inch sizes with two layers of high quality scrim felt to create a stunning, layered look, making our patches more durable than those of many of our competitors who cut corners by using lower weight material.  Each lamp of knowledge patch can be plain or embroidered with up to forty characters.  We can design chenille patches in almost any size, including those not shown on this order page, so if you want a lamp of knowledge patch that is larger than 5 inches, please contact us for a custom quote.

This lamp of knowledge academic patch is proudly Made in the USA.  You can read more about our dedication to manufacturing and sourcing from within the United States if you are interested in learning about our commitment to American workers.

How to Order Your Custom Chenille Patch

For first time letterman jacket award customers, we know it can be confusing when ordering your chenille patch.  As one of the oldest, largest, and most successful letterman jacket award companies on the Internet, we have helped tens of thousands of customers design their dream varsity jacket and patches.  We're here to hold your hand and answer any questions you may have.

To help you understand the terminology we use in the manufacturing process, we created this diagram for you, pointing out the different parts of the chenille patch.  If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask us.  We're happy to help!

• Chenille - This refers to the fuzzy, soft part that makes up the patch itself. 
• Top Felt Color - This is the felt material on which the chenille and contrasting border are sewn.  It serves to frame them with a small amount visible and sits on top of the bottom felt color.
• Bottom Felt Color - This is the felt material that serves as the background for the entire patch and can be sewn directly onto your varsity jacket, letterman sweater, or other garment.
• Contrasting Border - This is the border around the main chenille part of the patch.  It can be made in either a chenille stitch style or the more popular chain stitch style (which is what 95%+ of our customers order).
• Embroidery - Many of our patches have an option to add classic embroidery so you can personalize the patch with your name, achievement, or anything else you can imagine. We match our embroidery colors to our chenille and felt colors.

How Our Award Patches Are Measured

We measure all of our chenille patches from chenille to chenille (the fuzzy part) at either the widest or the tallest point.  We do not include the felt backgrounds within our measured sizes. To account for the felt background, you will need to add about 0.75 to 1.00 inch to the overall size of the patch.  For example, if you order a 5 inch patch, the chenille portion of the patch alone will measure roughly five inches at its widest or tallest point; adding in the felt background will make the overall size of the patch closer to 6 inches.  The most traditional and commonly ordered chenille patch size is 4 inches.

Chenille and Felt Color Chart

With over 20 different chenille & felt colors, you can design your custom chenille patch in more than 80,000 different color combinations!  Although we have made a tremendous effort to ensure accuracy, the way the colors appear on your monitor or in print can be affected by your computer settings or printer. Therefore, Mount Olympus Awards™ cannot guarantee that the colors shown below precisely match the true color of our products. If you are unsure of what color would work best for you, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Return and Exchange Policy for Custom Manufactured Letterman Jacket Award Patches

All chenille patches, varsity letters, and personalized letterman jackets are custom manufactured to your exact specifications. It is not possible to stock them because of the virtually endless color, size, and font combinations. For this reason, we are not responsible for errors resulting from customer input (e.g., misspelling an embroidered name, ordering the wrong size, color, felt options, etc.). If you discover such an error and wish to make changes or cancel your order once it has been submitted, please contact us by phone, email, or live chat with one of our online representatives. We will make every reasonable effort to cancel or alter your order prior to it entering production and, if requested, promptly refund your money. If, however, production has begun, we will not be able to cancel, refund, or alter your order in any way.

Please note that if we receive the request for cancellation after payment has been tendered, you will be responsible for paying an order cancellation fee that will include, but not be limited to, the merchant fees, bank fees, vendor cancellation fees, and other charges that we incurred due to your order. The order cancellation fee will be 12% of your total order, including shipping. For instance, if you ordered $200 worth of custom merchandise and you requested that your order be cancelled before production was begun, you would be responsible for roughly $24 worth of fees and service charges to cover our bank costs, time, effort, labor, and other considerations. Your refund at order cancellation would be $176 ($200 less the cancellation fee).  To learn more, please read our terms and conditions.
