At Skylarkinfantry, we understand that every detail on a uniform carries meaning, history, and pride.

Whether you are part of a military unit, marching band, honor guard, ceremonial group, or official institution, choosing the right aiguillette reflects your commitment to tradition and excellence.
What Is an Aiguillette?
An aiguillette is a decorative braided cord worn on military, ceremonial, or formal uniforms. Traditionally worn on the shoulder, it signifies rank, role, or ceremonial distinction. The word itself originates from French, referring to the small metal tips (aglets) that finish the braided cords.
Over centuries, the aiguillette has evolved from a functional military fastening cord into a symbol of authority, honor, and prestige. Today, it remains a critical part of ceremonial dress uniforms across the world.

Each aiguillette is meticulously braided using high-quality threads that maintain their structure and sheen over time. The braiding is tight, symmetrical, and built to last.
2. Durable Metal Tips (Aglets)
The metal tips are polished and securely fastened to prevent loosening. They are designed to resist tarnishing and maintain a professional shine.
3. Comfortable Shoulder Fit
Our aiguillette is designed to sit naturally on the shoulder without discomfort. It complements the uniform instead of weighing it down.
4. Custom Options Available

Built for repeated ceremonial use, our aiguillette retains its structure and finish even after extended wear.
