Epaulettes have long been more than just decorative pieces on a uniform—they represent identity, heritage, and authority. At Skylarkinfantry, our mission is to preserve that tradition while delivering modern craftsmanship that meets today’s standards of style, durability, and precision. When someone sees a pair of beautifully crafted epaulettes, they instantly understand the significance they bring to a uniform or fashion piece. This is why we focus on producing epaulettes that don’t just sit on the shoulder—they elevate the entire garment.
Understanding the Timeless Value of Epaulettes
Epaulettes originated in military dress centuries ago, serving as symbols of rank, discipline, and honor. Over time, they evolved from simple shoulder patches into highly ornamental, intricate designs featuring bullion, woven cords, metallic threads, and elegant fringes. They remain an essential element in military uniforms, formal ceremonial garments, marching band attire, and even modern high-fashion pieces.
Today, epaulettes are embraced for both their meaning and their beauty. Designers, collectors, tailors, and uniform manufacturers recognize that the right pair of epaulettes immediately adds character, presence, and authority.
At Skylarkinfantry, we carefully design each piece to carry this legacy forward with the highest level of craftsmanship.

How Skylarkinfantry Crafts Premium Epaulettes
Our production process blends historic handcraft traditions with updated manufacturing techniques. Each pair of epaulettes goes through several detailed steps that ensure beauty, durability, and precision.
1. Research and Design Development
We start by analyzing historical military pieces, cultural garments, and clients’ requirements. Our designers create sketches and digital layouts that reflect the theme—whether ceremonial, military, fashion-forward, or minimalist.
2. Material Selection for Excellence
The quality of epaulettes depends heavily on the materials. Skylarkinfantry uses:

Velvet and felt bases
-
Strong interlining for structure

We choose materials that maintain their shape, resist wear, and reflect light beautifully.
3. Hand Embroidery and Detailing
Most of our epaulettes include hand-crafted elements. Our artisans carefully stitch designs, insignias, and borders to ensure accuracy and symmetry. This level of human touch is what gives our epaulettes their refined and authentic appearance.
4. Structural Assembly and Shaping
From attaching fringes to reinforcing the base, every step is executed with precision. Strong backing material ensures the epaulettes sit firmly on the shoulder and maintain their curve.
