The art of sewing your No.4 uniform rank beautifully

Gordonator SG

i don't think many people are particular about this, but actually, it takes some skills to sew your rank onto your no.4 uniform beautifully.

for example always buy ranks that have very little black camou pattern as possible, better if have none at all. especially for officers, epaulettes which have balck camou pattern covering the "singapura" wording or the rank itself are not very nice to look at. make it very hard of people to see.

so anyway, anyone with experience or words of advice please feel free to share with us here. Razz

when sewing…dun cut along the outline of the rank but rather fold them back and sew it onto the sleeves. so far all my ranks were sewn onto my uniforms at the army market.

I buy my epaulettes with mostly camouflage, so ppl who cant see it and start getting 'xia lan' with me, I can "fark" him upside down...

Mr. Green

Joking larz...

Gordonator SG

ya lor, i agree. but i still see people, esp LCPs, cutting along the outline, this can led to a lot of cock hair problem later. Rolling Eyes

here's some example of badly designed ranks. as u can see for the SSG and LTC rank, the black camou pattern cover up the degin of the singapore crest, while for the 1WO rank, the black camou pattern cover up the "singapura" wording.

LOL! i didn't realise that. they should do away with the camo patterns on the epaulettes lah...

deathscythe99 SG

Hmmm, it's not a design prob. it's the camou pattern used Razz

NeonTetra SG

yup....after several washings...the hair come out and ur rank suddenly look like tattered and torn

LazerLordz SG

deathscythe99 SG

LazerLordz SG

Heard about it for a long time already… And one wild rumour about desert BDUs being issued in the future.Gee.

Gordonator SG

Urghhh I can't sew the rank by myself...rather gave it to the gift shop auntie to sew for me...cheap & nice for 2 bucks!

But I still prefer to choose those nice badges such as marksman, ippt etc etc... Embarassed

Shrapnel SG

yah… one regret is i gain no other badges during my nsf other than the umbrealla sigh… think the marksmen and airborne look garang…

LazerLordz SG
