The pieces are available online with convenient add-to-cart functionality, offering not only elegance but also affordability.
Based in London, we know the pride and accuracy that military uniforms demand. That is why our aiguillettes, stable belts, and shoulder boards are crafted with conventional methods to provide authenticity and durability. These are not accessories; they are statements of identity, heritage, and duty.
The Importance of Aiguillettes in Military Uniforms
Aiguillettes are not just show cords; these are tokens of duty and rank. Worn on ceremonial duties, they indicate allegiance to high-ranking members or to members of staff. On every aiguillette at Hand Embroidery UK, metallic threadwork is beautifully intertwined with precision.
Our aiguillettes come in gold, silver, and other ceremonial colors for various military branches and regiments. They have strong knots, polished tips, and precise specifications needed for official uniforms. Whether you are ordering to replace damaged gear or buying for a whole unit, we make sure each order meets high standards.
Stable Belts: Tradition Meets Functionality
Stable belts have their origins in cavalry regiments, where they were initially worn to provide essential support while grooming horses. They have today become an arrogant aspect of British military uniform heritage. They are commonly employed to signify regimental affiliation and can vary widely in color and design.
At Hand Embroidery UK, our stable belts are made of superior woven webbing strengthened by leather or durable synthetic material. We offer adjustable sizes, sound buckle fittings, and patterns to official regiment standards. Every belt is designed to provide comfort, endurance, and is a perfect finish for active and ceremonial use.
Shoulder Board Craftsmanship That Commands Respect
Shoulder boards, or epaulettes, are a signature of naval and military uniform design. They indicate rank, unit, and status through a mix of embroidery, fabric, and insignia. Our shoulder boards are designed to replicate official instructions, made with top-of-the-line bullion wire, velvet backing, and custom insignias.
We cater to a range of needs, naval, air force, and land regiments, with detachable as well as sewn-in shoulder board designs. Whether upgrading an existing uniform or personalizing a new one, our shoulder boards provide the polish and precision demanded by formal wear.
