Beret Badges

Category overview

Beret Badges are small emblems designed to be worn on headgear to show unit, rank, or affiliation. They are a practical accessory used by military personnel, cadets, and uniformed organizations as a visible symbol of identity.

This category contains both metal and embroidered insignia in a range of finishes and fittings. A simple definition: a beret badge is a mounted emblem for a beret or cap that secures to the fabric and displays a crest, symbol, or number.

How to choose the right product

Quick answer: match the badge type to your beret fabric and how permanent you want the attachment to be. Consider metal pins for formal wear and fabric patches for regular use.

In most cases, check the fitting style (pin, screw, Velcro) and the size to ensure the badge sits flat and centered. Think about finish and maintenance — polished metals need occasional cleaning, while embroidered badges are low maintenance.
