Often referred to simply as “chevrons,” nonsubdued sew-on insignia features chevrons embroidered on a background manufactured in one of three colors—blue, white, and Heritage Green—that match the uniform(s) with which they are to be worn. Sergeant First Class chevrons with a blue background are worn on the sleeves of the jackets of the Army Service / Dress Uniform and the Blue Mess Dress, while chevrons on a white background are sewn exclusively the jacket of the White Mess jacket, and the Heritage Green background with Heritage Tan chevrons are for the Army Green Service Uniform (AGSU) Coat and shirts (short- and long-sleeved).
In addition to the three currently authorized backgrounds, we continue alsoto manufacture Sergeant First Class chevrons with a green background to support veterans seeking insignias for the discontinued (as of 30 September 2015) Class A Army Green Uniform. “Army Greens” was the Army’s primary dress uniforms for over 50 years, and is also sought after by uniform collectors and movie and TV production companies seeking authentic wardrobes for both fictional and documentary works set during those five decades.
