The Significance Behind Every Stitch

Our interest in making military uniform accessories lies in a profound respect for the ceremonial heritage. Aiguillettes are not merely ornamental cords; they are a symbol of status, rank, and responsibility. Frequently worn on formal uniforms by officers, aiguillettes have a long tradition in the British army and in general beyond. They bring an instant sense of formality and historical connection.

Shoulder boards are also important. They indicate rank and authority, and no officer's uniform would be complete without them. At Hand Embroidery UK, our shoulder boards are created to match exact specifications, so they meet both aesthetic and functional requirements.

Sword knots, however, have a functional purpose and an aesthetic one. Originally intended to keep the sword from being misplaced in combat, they are now ornamental pieces that mirror the sophistication of historical military attire.
