[cul-de-dé] lace [or braid]; [French] military braid Explanation: In the context of military uniforms, military braid is called lace, not stripe (although it can be used to make a stripe or bar). Unless you believe the exact pattern of the lace/military braid is needed for your context, I would omit cul-de-dé.

They are made by military uniform specialists, and the gold braid is an expensive, muted French military braid for a high-quality and authoritative appearance. These epaulets will last forever! http://www.aerotraining.com/html_gif/2379.htm Hand & Lock is a fusion of two long established embroidery firms, namely M. Hand & Company Ltd (established in 1767) and S.Lock Ltd. (established in 1898). The Hand Company were traditionally “gold lacemen”, weaving ceremonial military braid and later embroidering in gold wire and threads. S.Lock Ltd. was a leading embroidery firm based in London’s West End – embroidering and beading for some of the world’s leading bridal designers and couturiers such as Catherine Walker and Hardie Ames. http://www.handembroidery.com/news/meet-carne-griffiths-embr... Tinsel Trading Company is one of the jewels in the Garment District's crown. I gather that the world at large knows them thanks to the enthusiastic patronage of Martha Stewart; costumers know them for their stellar reputation and history of dealing in rare, vintage, antique, and no-longer-produced trimmings, including metal-thread trims for military braid. They do solicit mail-orders off their website for many of their items, but of course some of the rare and limited-quantity stuff can only be found browsing the store. http://labricoleuse.livejournal.com/tag/company focus Main > Uniform Accessories > Braids [modern US military braids] http://www.iragreen.com/view/1888/ Maréchal de camp (Field Marshal): the first substantive rank of general. The Maréchaux de camp wore a special uniform, blue and red, with a single bar of gold lace, and in the late 18th century also received two stars on the shoulder straps. With the abolition of the rank of Brigadier des armées in 1788, it became the lowest general officer rank, but its insignia of two stars was unchanged. The rank was redesignated Brigade General in 1793 which retained the two star insignia. This explains why French generals' insignia starts with two stars. Lieutenant général: the highest military rank. Lieutenants généraux wore the same uniform as the Maréchaux de camp, but with two bars of gold lace, and in the late 18th century also received three stars on the shoulder straps.
