The Timeless Appeal of Epaulettes
Epaulettes are more than mere ornamental shoulder adornments; they are a sign of distinction. Worn by military officers throughout history to denote rank, epaulettes still retain symbolic meaning today. From gold-treaded motifs to modern variations, they bring prestige and elegance to any uniform.

Why epaulettes continue to be relevant today:
- Symbolize authority and rank.
