Carabinieri Appuntato Rank Insignia

Product overview

The Tubolari Appuntato Carabinieri are plastic rank sleeves made for Appuntato personnel of the Arma dei Carabinieri. They are intended for duty and ceremonial wear on the shirt or sweater and match the Corps’ distinctive uniform appearance.

Definition: Tubolari are plastic insignia sleeves worn on the shirt (summer) or sweater (winter) to show the Appuntato rank. These tubolari come in seasonal variants and are produced for durability and correct visual detail.

Main features

Carefully made to reflect the Carabinieri pattern, these tubolari combine recognizable colors and clear rank markings suitable for duty, police, and tactical uniforms.

• Backing (guaina): Black for winter (sweater) and light blue for summer (shirt).
• Frame: Red outer frame, characteristic of the Arma dei Carabinieri.
• Chevrons (galloni): Two red chevrons pointing downward.
• Threading: Two thin black threads between the red chevrons.
• Material: Plastic construction designed for regular use.
• Fit: Made for use on both shirts and sweaters for the Appuntato rank.

How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: Wear the black-backed version on the sweater in winter and the light-blue-backed version on the shirt in summer. These tubolari are intended to maintain a professional and regulation-appropriate look.

In most cases, choose the winter (black) variant for colder uniforms and the summer (blue) variant for lighter shirts. These are useful for daily duty, formal inspections, and occasions where correct rank insignia is required.
