Wire-embroidered Bullion Badges
Wire-embroidered badges and insignia are worn by club members and servicemen's associations personnel. Gold- and silver-plated bullion wire and coloured threads are embroidered onto a black cloth backing. The badge is then laser-cut to shape, leaving a border round the design for sewing onto blazers or uniforms. Although rather more expensive than standard embroidery, wire-embroidery is preferable where durability and a tactile feel are required.
