The chevrons shown are in stock and sold by the pair- ready for you to sew onto your coat sleeves. If you order a Union coat from stock, to save delivery time, we will "pin on" the chevrons if you request at no charge! If you would like us to hand sew the chevrons on the sleeves of a coat you are ordering that is from stock, there is a charge of $20.00 for this service. |
