In the world of military tradition and ceremonial dress, finer details matter. Hand Embroidery UK specializes in designing epaulettes, shoulder board, and sword knots that not only reflect time-honoured aesthetics but also quality and price. Our London business caters to a wide range of customers who are looking for elegance, strength, and authenticity in military uniform accessories.
The correct epaulettes, complemented by a thoughtfully stitched shoulder board and classic sword knot, brings a sense of grandeur and professionalism to any uniform. Whether ceremonial guard, historical reenactment unit, or active duty military, these touches are not mere decorations, they're badges of honor and tradition.
The Significance Behind the Stitch: A Tradition of Military Pride
Military uniforms have never been just about clothing, they're a symbol of structure, command, and tradition. Throughout the years, embellishments like epaulettes, shoulder board, and sword knots have evolved to represent duty, rank, and tradition.
Each piece has its own distinct function:
- Epaulettes provide embellishment and definition to the shoulder area, making officers immediately recognizable and adding formal elegance.
- Shoulder boards identify rank and appointment. They have different designs for different forces, but always retain a shiny, majestic appearance.
- Sword knots, which were created to keep swords attached to the wrist of an officer, are now used as stylish enhancements of ceremonial swords that convey class and purpose.

Epaulettes: More Than Just Shoulder Flair
Epaulettes are eye-catching embellishments that say a lot about the wearer's rank and service. Frequently made with gold or silver embroidery thread and fringe, they're intended to be both lovely and practical.
At Hand Embroidery UK, we provide epaulettes for all branches of the military and ceremonial events. Our epaulettes are designed to be long-lasting with a polished appearance, ideal for extended times on display or parading.
Shoulder Boards: Rank with Style
Shoulder boards are a visual language of rank and responsibility. Worn on dress coats or ceremonial jackets, their shape discreetly yet emphatically announces hierarchy.
We offer them in a vast array of military branches, all hand-sewn to perfection with clear rank markings and durability. Each piece is crafted to stay flat on the uniform, blending tradition with ease.
Sword Knots: Function Meets Tradition
Historically employed as a means to avoid losing a sword in battle, the sword knot is presently an important ceremonial piece. Classic designs crafted with fine cords and tassels are part of our collection and not only maintain their historical significance but also complement any ceremonial attire with a certain elegance.
Purchasing from us for use in historical reenactments, military ceremonies, or your own collection is always a timeless choice.
