What's a "letter guy" ?
Even the urban dictionary let me down on that one. And Google

  I used to swim freestyle  for the State/County team.Juniors,
gave up when I was 18 due to heavy smoking and lack of time for
training.  Where would I put my "special" letter?
(No painful suggestions please)

There used to be a "lettermens sweater".

It wasn't uncommon to see a star athlete with more than one letter for each sport they had lettered in. FWIW, I lettered in Band.I still have the letter, never bothered with a jacket or sweater.
