What if I have questions about what size jacket to buy?
Sizing letter jackets is not an exact science and, unfortunately, the online fitting guides will only "get you in the ballpark." Please keep in mind how many more years the student will be wearing their jacket to give them growing room. A good idea is to have your son/daughter try on their friends' jackets if you are not able to get to our store to try the jackets on.
What is AST Sports' return and exchange policy?
Unfortunately, all custom orders including letter jackets, chenille patches, embroidery and heat transfers orders are non-refundable. These items are custom-manufactured and cannot be returned once production has begun. Please fully review your order for errors before submitting. If you find an error after you have placed your order, please contact us as soon as possible, there may be additional fees to correct your order.
If you are not completely satisfied with your stock in-store purchase please call AST Sports at 855-881-8527 within 30 days to arrange return. Be sure to save original receipt. Product must be returned unused in original packaging. Return of under garments such as jocks and supporters will not be accepted. Exchanges due to AST Sports error will be shipped at no additional charge. COD's will not be accepted.
What is the largest chenille patch AST Sports can create?
If the total patch size is under 18" x 18", we are able to create your patch in one piece. If the patch is larger than that, it can be created in segments and sewn onto a bottom felt or other cloth media.
What methods of payment can I use?
