Shoulder Boards for Coats - Deluxe Large - Civil War

These Deluxe Large Civil War Shoulder Boards are premium reproductions of the officer shoulder straps worn by Union Army officers on frock coats and overcoats during the American Civil War. Designed in a larger format to suit heavier outer garments, they provide the correct scale and visual presence required for historically accurate officer uniforms.

Each shoulder board features an extra-rich three-row gold embroidered border surrounding a wide central field, closely matching original deluxe officer patterns. The embroidery is executed using metallic thread on a velvet base with a wool backing, delivering both durability and an authentic 19th-century texture. The bold gold detailing ensures rank and branch identification remains prominent, even when worn on heavier coats.

Sold as a matching pair, these deluxe shoulder boards are ideal for reenactments, living history events, museum displays, ceremonial uniforms, and high-end Civil War officer collections. Their refined craftsmanship and correct proportions make them an excellent choice for officers portraying formal or winter dress impressions.

When ordering, select the appropriate background color and rank to match your specific Union Army officer uniform.
