What is the difference between initials and a monogram?

Initials are engraved in the order of  first name, middle name, last name. 

For example John Fitzgerald Kennedy would be engraved as   JFK

A monogram has a larger letter representing the last name in the center with smaller letters for the first and middle names which are engraved on either side. The order of the letters would be first name, last name in the center and middle name last. 

For example John Fitzgerald Kennedy would be engraved as     J K

We are engraving monograms only in block lettering, as script lettering is not clear enough to meet our standards.

How are elastic bands replaced on the Grand Band?

Stretching the elastic band taut will allow it to slip out of the slit on the back side of the Grand Band.
