Epaulette (; also spelled epaulet) is a type of ornamental shoulder piece with a fringe and often bears insignia of rank by armed forces and other organizations. Flexible metal epaulettes (usually made from brass) are referred to as shoulder scales. Epaulettes should not be confused with other shoulder insignia, such as shoulder boards, shoulder straps, shoulder chains or shoulder knots/cords.
