Shoulder boards and shoulder cords are worn on the shoulders of ceremonial and formal uniforms to display rank and add a smart, structured finish. Our collection includes gold gilt wire shoulder cords for No 1 Dress, available unranked or with rank already fitted from 2nd Lieutenant to General.
Typically worn by officers on No 1 Dress and mess dress, shoulder boards are secured at the shoulder with a button near the collar. They are an integral part of formal military presentation, clearly showing the wearer's rank and authority at parades, ceremonies and formal dinners.
Each item is made to military specification with quality wire and backing for a sharp, lasting appearance. Since 1949, Cadet Kit Shop has supplied cadet adult volunteers with ceremonial uniform items that meet the highest standards of presentation.
