How-to
Attach a replacement badge without forcing the buttons
The install process is simple when the size is right. The main risk is rushing it, bending the felt, or tightening the buttons too aggressively on the first try.

Confirm fit before you start
Do not start with the buttons. Start with the fit. Hold the badge in place on the sleeve and make sure the size and spacing look right before attaching anything.
If the badge does not sit naturally, stop and recheck the size guide. Forcing a mismatch creates more problems than it solves.
Handle the felt and buttons gently
The safest attachment method is steady and minimal. Keep the felt flat, line up the button points, and tighten only as much as needed to secure the badge cleanly.
- Use clean, dry hands.
- Do not bend the felt panel in half.
- Do not overtighten the buttons.
- Check alignment once before final tightening.
Check the finished result
Once attached, the badge should sit flat, look balanced on the sleeve, and feel secure without strain around the button points. If it looks twisted or tight, remove it and start again rather than forcing it.
Step-by-step installation
Lay the badge against the sleeve
Position the badge where it will sit and confirm the size and spacing before you use the buttons.
Align the button points
Match the attachment points cleanly and keep the badge felt flat rather than folding or twisting it.
Secure the buttons carefully
Tighten only until the badge feels secure. Do not force the buttons or over-compress the felt.
Check the final balance
Make sure the badge sits straight, flat, and comfortable on the garment before wearing it.
