About this service

General officers' epaulets combine a wire-embroidered surface with rank stars and often a national or service crest. Their weight and shine come from dense wire over padding. Our pattern lays out the surface, crest, and star positions at full size, with padding and wire specified, and supplies arrangements for each general rank.

How we build it

  • Wire-covered epaulet surface with padding marked
  • Crest and star positions for each rank
  • Wire types specified for surface, crest, and stars
  • Matched pair production
