The history of Naval gold lace or 'gold rings' is rather intriguing. Today's 'executive curl' was instigated to differentiate the military branch of the Royal Navy from the civil branch (such as the as auxiliaries, logistics and marine engineers). The military officers wore the curl, whereas the civil did not. However, from 1918 and ever since, the curl was rolled out across all branches. . When uniforms were first introduced within the Royal Navy in 1748, it would only be senior officers who would adorn with gold to denote their seniority and standing. Taking inspiration from senior army officers, the rule was; the more gilded a hem, cuff, pocket flap, coat skirt, breast or collar-the more senior your position. . By 1798 the Navy followed similar modes of adornment to the army in their gilt garments.Initially it was only Commanders, Captains and flag ranks that could display their rank thus in uniform. Flag officers would wear distinction lace on their cuffs for dress and undress uniforms. Ornate epaulettes were also employed as a symbol of gravitas. . Eventually, by 1856 the use of gold distinction lace was stripped to a more modest and tasteful display-incorporating the executive curl (reminiscent of cockades used in military millinery in prior centuries). . #navaltailor #royalnavy #navalhistory #navaluniform #uniformhistory #bespoketailoring #militarytailor
