Letterman Jacket Project.

Hello everyone, I have decided to tackle fixing my lettermans jacket from many years ago. the letters were embroidered on incorrectly but I didn't have the ability to fix it back then. Now my goal is to have it at least wearable for an event next year, but I would like it to be without the misspelled embroidery showing. It is on the upper left side of the jacket.
It has been in storage, hanging on a hanger, so there is minimal fading and it is for the most part in good condition. The store I purchased and customized the jacket at is no longer in business and I live in a different city now.
Would you recommend that I find a professional embroider, or has too much time passed and it will never be fixable?
Please let me know what you think and I'd be thrilled to hear your responses. Thank you.
Allie.

Do you have an embroidery machine & are you planning to do it yourself? Even if so, I would try to find a professional shop and see what they recommend and what their charges would be. Sometimes it is less frustrating to just pay and have it done-saves you worry, time and work! The easiest thing, if you can find a good matching fabric, would be to make a patch like a badge that could be sewed over the wrong spelling. Good luck ,which ever route you take it will be fun to have your jacket to wear.
