Badges designed specifically for headgear add distinctive flair and symbolism. Common materials include intricate embroidery, enameled metal, and other sturdy accents. Unit crests, national emblems, rank identifiers and other regalia frequently appear as hat badges, hat pins, or cap accoutrements. They adorn military headwear like berets, peaked caps, boonie hats and more to denote the wearer's service, specialization or honors. Police caps and other law enforcement lids also incorporate unique hat badges representing their departments. Whether woven, stamped or cast, these miniature adorning badges display incredible craftsmanship in conveying their meaningful symbols on a small canvas. They elevate headgear from mere utility to signature markers of identity.
