What is an Aiguillette?
An aiguillette is a braided cord worn on the shoulder of a uniform, often finished with decorative metal tips. Historically, it has been associated with military officers and aides-de-camp, symbolizing honor, authority, and service. Today, aiguillettes are widely used in:
- Military ceremonial uniforms
- Police and security dress uniforms
- Marching bands and orchestras
- Honor guards and parade units
- Historical reenactments
At Skylarkinfantry, we preserve this legacy while enhancing quality and craftsmanship for modern use.
