Commander Shoulder Board Epaulette Royal uniform

A Commander Shoulder Board Epaulette is a type of military or naval
insignia worn on the shoulders of a uniform to denote the rank of
Commander, which is typically above a Lieutenant Commander and below a
Captain in most navies or equivalent services. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

Design Features

Base Material:

Usually made of a firm cloth or felt base, often black, navy blue, or dark-
colored, depending on the service branch.

Trim & Border:

Often has gold or silver braid along the edges.

Some ceremonial versions have bullion fringe (metallic threads) for a more
formal look.

Rank Insignia:

Typically features three stripes or bars, sometimes with a loop or curl on
the top stripe, depending on navy or merchant marine tradition.

In some armies, the shoulder board may feature stars or pips instead of
stripes.

Attachment:

Slip-on style or buttoned down to the shoulder of the uniform.

Sometimes secured with a shoulder strap underneath.

Occasions:

Worn on formal dress uniforms, ceremonial occasions, or sometimes on
service uniforms.

Variations

Navy: Gold braid with three stripes and loop.

Merchant Navy: Often similar to naval style but may include a colored
stripe (e.g., blue or black) to denote the company or service.

Ceremonial vs. Daily Uniform: Ceremonial boards may have more ornate
embroidery or bullion fringe.

If you want, I can create a visual diagram showing exactly what a Commander
Shoulder Board Epaulette looks like, including the stripe pattern and
fringe. It’s very helpful for reference. Do you want me to do that?
