Badge for Alpini Officers - Woven

Product overview

The Fregio Tramat Ufficiali Alpini is a hand-embroidered gold bullion badge for officers of the Alpini corps, designed for collectors, uniform restorers, and active-duty or retired personnel. It suits Alpini hats and Norvegese-style Alpine caps and is made by Tra.Mat (Trasporti e Materiali).

Definition: a decorative embroidered emblem (fregio) featuring an eagle clutching a cogwheel with wings, produced in gold canutiglia (bullion) thread.

How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: sew the badge onto the hat for a secure, long-lasting fit; fabric adhesives work for temporary or display use. In most cases, sewing is recommended for regular wear and durability.

This fregio is useful when restoring uniforms, for ceremonial dress, or for collectors who want an authentic-looking Alpini officer emblem. Choose the grey-green variant for traditional Alpini hats or the khaki variant for Norvegese-style Alpine caps.

• Spot clean gently with a soft cloth; avoid aggressive chemicals.
• Sew on for a permanent fit; fabric adhesives may be less durable outdoors.
• Store dry and flat to protect the bullion stitching.
• Limited handmade quantities mean availability may vary.
