Guard Shoulder Board
Guard shoulder board pattern: shoulder boards for guard and ceremonial units with bordered edges and unit emblems, laid out for hand embroidery.

About this service
Shoulder boards, the stiff rectangular boards worn on the shoulders, carry rank and unit identity on dress uniforms. Guard units often use boards with a bullion border and a unit emblem. Our pattern lays out the board's outline, border, and emblem at full size, so boards can be produced as consistent matched pairs.
How we build it
- Board outline and pointed or rounded end
- Bullion border marked around the edge
- Unit emblem positioned on the board
- Matched left and right pair
