Description: This dark blue wool panel serves as an epaulette slip-on slide or shoulder rank board designed for civil maritime, commercial aviation, or municipal emergency service dress uniforms. The four vertical columns are densely embroidered with a white-silver heavy cotton or linen thread in a classic horizontal satin-stitch pattern. In standardized international uniform hierarchies, a four-bar configuration is reserved exclusively for the highest field leadership roles, denoting a Senior Airline Captain, a Marine Chief Officer, or a Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief. Measuring 26mm in width by 65mm in height, this slip-on slide is engineered to guide smoothly over a permanent fabric shoulder strap on a formal dress tunic or a white pilot shirt, keeping the senior rank visible from both front and side angles.
