Lanyard & Whistle Cord

A lanyard & whistle cord is a braided or woven cord worn around the neck,
shoulder, or attached to the uniform for functional and ceremonial
purposes. Traditionally, it serves both practical and decorative roles in
military, scouting, law enforcement, and ceremonial dress.

Lanyard

A lanyard is a cord or strap designed to secure small objects like
whistles, keys, or identification cards.

In the military, it is often worn looped around the shoulder, sometimes
color-coded to denote regiment, corps, or rank.

In ceremonial uniforms, it may be purely ornamental, with intricate
braiding and specific placement.

Whistle Cord

A whistle cord is a specialized lanyard used to hold a whistle,
traditionally used by military officers, naval boatswains, police, or
scouting leaders for giving signals.

Often attached to the uniform epaulette or button, the cord allows the
whistle to be drawn to the mouth quickly.

Can be plain or elaborately braided, depending on the level of formality.
