Originally, chevrons were issued sewn to paper.
To apply them on your coat you would have to sew all the way around each stripe, and then rip the paper off. Since you went up in rank one stripe at a time, individually sewing around one set of stripes was not too much of a task. Only when you got a new uniform would you have to sew all your rank stripes on.
For those of you that really want to look right, buy our tape and sew each stripe directly to your sleeve. (It takes a foot of twill tape to make one "V" chevron)
