Cadet Shoulder Boards
Our shoulder boards collection provides the premium ceremonial insignia required for formal occasions across cadet forces. These meticulously crafted items transform No1 and Mess dress uniforms into precise indicators of rank and regimental affiliation through exceptional materials and detailed construction.
Shoulder boards represent one of the most distinctive elements of formal military attire. Our collection encompasses the complete range of infantry regiment designs in the classic black and gold combination—from junior officer ranks like Second Lieutenant through to senior appointments including Lieutenant Colonel and Warrant Officer Class 1. Each board features precise military specifications with proper rank insignia placement and dimensional construction that ensures appropriate presentation on ceremonial uniforms.
The collection acknowledges the distinctive traditions of specific regiments through specialised options. The RIFLES shoulder boards maintain the distinctive styling appropriate to this regiment's unique heritage, while the Royal Gurkha Rifles Mess Dress shoulder cords preserve the specific ceremonial appearance required for this prestigious unit's formal occasions.
For wider ceremonial requirements, our shoulder cords with three-ply gold gilt wire on dark blue backing provide the premium quality expected for senior appointments and special occasions. These distinguished accessories create immediate visual impact during formal parades while maintaining proper military styling.
For cadet adult instructors with previous regular service, these boards maintain connections to their former regiments. For Combined Cadet Force units with specific regimental affiliations, they provide authentic ceremonial distinction appropriate to parent unit traditions.
Since 1949, Cadet Kit Shop has provided authentic military-specification ceremonial items that adhere to formal standards. These quality shoulder boards ensure cadet adult instructors can properly represent their ranks and regimental affiliations on formal occasions with the precise appearance expected of military organisations.
