Definition: a soggolo is a decorative and functional cap band that indicates rank on a rigid service cap. This item suits police duty uniforms and is also of interest to tactical and military surplus collectors.

Main features

Clean, service-ready design with official variants and durable construction.

• Silver ribbon with a central penitentiary blue stripe and a fine 1 mm horizontal line for a precise, professional look.
• New model option: compliant with the decree of 10 December 2014 — silver band 15 mm wide with a central black panel 5 mm wide and silver rank galloncino edged in black.
• Old type available: the traditional version with blue threading as shown in the product image (selectable from the dropdown).
• Silver galloncino detail: applied at each temple height on both sides of the cap for clear rank identification.
• Durable materials: made to withstand regular wear on service headgear.

How to use / When it’s useful

Attach the soggolo to a rigid service cap in the temple area so the silver galloncino aligns with the uniform’s rank markings. Choose the new model if your unit follows the 2014 decree, otherwise select the old type for historical or traditional caps.

Quick answer: use this soggolo on a rigid beret-style cap to show Vice Superintendent rank during duty or formal events. In most cases, identity verification is required before purchase — either by military/police ID or by shipping to the buyer’s duty station; collectors must present the appropriate prefectural license under art. 28 TULPS.
