Description

Officer and warrant-officer hat pattern specification for Regimental Cap Badge.

Specification

Gender

Male & Female

Design

The officer and warrant-officer No. 1 and No. 2 hat badge depicts the College of Arms-granted regimental crest in dead gilt and dead silver.

Construction

Both badge classes are mounted on shaped black felt; the other-rank backing creates a three-millimetre border.

Variant Identity

The source distinguishes the Officer and warrant-officer hat pattern specification within Regimental Cap Badge.

Placement

Standard cap-badge placement depends on the headdress: about 2 cm above the beret band towards the left eye; on the left of Kilmarnock, Balmoral and Tam O'Shanter bonnets about 3.6 cm above the band; towards the left eye on a caubeen except the Irish Guards' reversed right-eye placement; centred on the front band of forage and Service Dress caps; and at the front or side of felt hats.

Fastening

Cap badges normally use a standard single vertical hook-shank fastener; exceptionally large badges may use additional support only where Army Dress Committee authority has been granted.
