Cheap rate Cuff Rank Sleeve 1 Curl Gold Wire Sub Lieutenant

A Cuff Rank Sleeve is a type of insignia used primarily in naval, maritime,
and sometimes air force uniforms to denote the rank of the officer wearing
it. Instead of being on the shoulder like epaulettes or shoulder boards,
this rank insignia is displayed on the sleeve of the uniform jacket—usually
near the cuff.

Here’s a detailed breakdown:

1. Design

Typically consists of stripes (rings) of gold braid or embroidery around
the sleeve cuff.

Sometimes includes curl patterns or loops (commonly called the “executive
curl” in naval uniforms) to distinguish commissioned officers.

The number, width, and pattern of stripes directly indicate rank.

2. Usage

Navy uniforms: Common for officers in many countries. For example:

Sub-Lieutenant: 1 thin stripe with curl

Lieutenant: 2 stripes with curl

Commander: 3 stripes with curl

Captain: 4 stripes with curl

Merchant Navy uniforms: Similar system with slight variations.

Air forces and other services: Sometimes use cuff stripes for senior ranks
or ceremonial dress.

3. Advantages

Easily visible when wearing a jacket or coat.

Traditional and ceremonial aesthetic.

Less prone to being snagged or damaged than shoulder boards.

4. Variations

Some uniforms may use different colors (black, navy, white, or gold)
depending on branch or ceremonial vs. operational dress.

Executive curl may or may not be present based on the specific navy or
merchant fleet regulations.

If you want, I can make a visual diagram showing all naval officer cuff
rank stripes so you can see exactly how each rank looks. It’s quite
intuitive once you see it.
