Epaulette Merchant Ceremonial

A Merchant Ceremonial Epaulette is a formal type of shoulder ornament worn
by officers of the Merchant Navy or associated maritime organizations
during parades, ceremonies, and other dress occasions. Unlike standard
working or rank epaulettes, these ceremonial versions are often more
decorative and elaborate.

Key Features of Merchant Ceremonial Epaulettes:

Gold or Silver Bullion Fringe – Traditional ceremonial epaulettes usually
have thick bullion fringe or tassels to signify formality and prestige.

Hard Shoulder Board Base – Typically stiffened and covered in high-quality
fabric (navy blue, black, or white).

Embroidered Devices – Can include anchors, national emblems, or merchant
service insignia in gold or silver wire.

Rank Indications – May show rank through embroidered bars, curls, or stars,
similar to sleeve insignia but adapted to the epaulette format.

Attachment Style – Usually buttoned or strapped onto the shoulder seam of a
ceremonial jacket or tunic.

Occasion – Reserved for ceremonial parades, inspections, and official
functions, not for daily duty.

Would you like me to also give you a visual comparison between standard
Merchant Navy officer epaulettes and ceremonial epaulettes so the
difference is clear?
