Historical Navy Shoulder Board
Historical navy shoulder board: period naval shoulder boards for reproductions, re-enactment, museums, and costume, prepared from historical references.

About this service
Historical naval uniforms used shoulder boards and epaulets that differ from modern designs. For re-enactors, museums, and costume makers, accuracy matters. We prepare patterns from photographs, references, or surviving boards, reproducing the period's stripe, device, and embroidery style at full size.
