🎖️ Achievement Bars

Show off your dedication, year after year!

Varsity jacket bars are the perfect way to represent your continued excellence and commitment. Whether you're an athlete, musician, scholar, or leader, bars mark the milestones you've earned along the way.

🏆 What Are Bars?

Bars are small horizontal patches—usually about 3.5 inches wide—that are typically sewn onto the sleeves or below the letter patch on the front of your jacket. Each bar usually stands for a year of participation or a specific achievement in a sport, activity, or academic program.
