Lancieri Junior Officers' Dress Rank Stripes

Product overview

These Travette Gala Ufficiali Inferiori Lancieri are a pair of embroidered badge slides designed for lower officers of the Lancieri, made to fit the epaulettes of a dress (gala) uniform. Definition: a travetta is a decorative insignia holder worn on uniform shoulder straps to show rank or corps affiliation.

Built for formal uniforms, they are also suitable for collectors, military surplus retailers, and ceremonial duty use. The design combines traditional detail with durable construction for a neat, professional appearance.

Main features

Carefully made with attention to detail, these travette balance historic styling with practical fit and wear.

• Embroidered in gold canutiglia: gold canutiglia (gold bullion wire) embroidery forms the frame and motif for a traditional look.
• Distinctive emblem: within the gold frame are two crossed lances topped by a small roundel, matching Lancieri symbolism.
• Dimensions: 30 mm x 60 mm — sized to fit standard epaulettes without appearing oversized.
• Sold as a pair: one travetta for each shoulder strap of the dress uniform.
• Easy to attach and remove: designed for simple fitting and quick maintenance of the uniform.
• Limited availability: produced in small quantities; stock may run low due to demand.

How to use / When it’s useful

Slide each travetta onto the shoulder straps (spalline) of the dress uniform so the emblem sits centered and level. They are intended for formal events such as parades, inspections, ceremonies, and official duties.

Quick answer: they are fitted to the epaulettes of Lancieri lower officers for gala (dress) wear. In most cases, they can be removed easily for cleaning or when not required by uniform regulations.

Care and notes

These travette are made to last but benefit from simple, careful handling to preserve the embroidery and shape.

• Remove travette before laundering or professional cleaning of the uniform.
• Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
• Store flat in a dry place to prevent bending of the bullion embroidery.
• Check unit uniform rules before wear to ensure correct placement and authorization.
