Product Overview
These Civil War Shoulder Boards with Deluxe Oak Leaf Border are premium reproductions of the ornate shoulder insignia worn by commissioned officers on frock coats and overcoats during the American Civil War. Designed to reflect higher-grade officer appointments, these boards offer an elevated level of detail and presentation consistent with period officer dress regulations.
Each shoulder board features a richly embroidered three-row oak leaf border surrounding a wide central field. The embroidery is executed using extra-rich golden metallic thread on a velvet base with a wool backing, closely replicating the texture, depth, and brilliance of original 19th-century officer insignia. The oak leaf motif adds visual distinction while maintaining historical accuracy.
Sold as a matching pair, these deluxe shoulder boards are ideal for formal officer impressions, ceremonial uniforms, museum displays, and high-end Civil War collections. Their refined craftsmanship and bold detailing make them especially suited for frock coats and overcoats where enhanced visibility and authenticity are essential.
Whether completing a senior officer uniform or upgrading an existing impression, these oak leaf border shoulder boards deliver the authority and elegance expected of Civil War officer insignia.
