When it comes to ceremonial military dress, every detail matters. The aiguillette is not just an accessory — it represents rank, honor, and tradition. At Skylarkinfantry, we understand the deep meaning behind every braided cord, every metal tip, and every stitch. That’s why our aiguillettes are crafted with precision, durability, and authenticity in mind.
Whether you are part of a military unit, ceremonial guard, marching band, or honor guard, choosing the right aiguillette ensures you maintain the highest standards of appearance and professionalism.
What Is an Aiguillette?
An aiguillette is a decorative braided cord worn on military, ceremonial, or formal uniforms. Traditionally worn on the shoulder, it symbolizes authority, distinction, and service. The word originates from French, referring to the metal tips (aglets) attached to braided cords.
Today, aiguillettes are worn by:
Military officers
Honor guards
Ceremonial units
Drum majors
Parade officials
High-ranking government representatives
Each aiguillette reflects tradition while maintaining strict uniform standards.
