Product Overview
The Officer’s Silk Sash is a historically accurate and elegant accessory traditionally worn by commissioned officers as part of their formal military uniform. During the Civil War era, silk sashes served both ceremonial and practical purposes, symbolizing rank while completing the refined appearance of an officer’s dress.
This sash is crafted from soft, knitted silk thread, giving it a smooth drape and comfortable feel when worn. Measuring approximately 10 feet in length, it is correctly sized to be worn in the traditional manner—wrapped twice around the waist and tied at the left front of the body, just as period officers wore it. The length allows the sash to sit securely while maintaining the proper visual balance expected of historical officer uniforms.
Each sash is finished with two detailed tassels at the ends, adding authenticity and movement when worn. The fine knit construction ensures flexibility without sacrificing structure, making it suitable for reenactments, ceremonies, museum displays, theatrical productions, and formal historical attire.
Available in a wide selection of traditional colors, this officer’s silk sash allows you to match specific uniforms, branches, or ceremonial requirements. Color options include Green, Buff, Maroon, Yellow, Sky Blue, Orange, Black, Red, and Gold.
Whether you are completing a Civil War officer impression or adding a refined historical accessory to your collection, this silk sash delivers accuracy, elegance, and period-correct presentation.
