Seychelles Port Captain Embroidery Cap Badge

Key Design & Motif Elements

• Foul Anchor Emblem: Features a prominent central foul anchor (an anchor intertwined with a naval rope), representing maritime command and port authority.

• Laurel Wreath: A surrounding wreath of gold bullion leaves and berries framing the anchor to denote officer status.

• National / Port Emblem: May incorporate stylized Seychelles motifs (such as a maritime crown, coconut palm accent, or national heraldry elements) above the anchor.

• Scroll & Banner: An arched scroll banner beneath or surrounding the wreath embroidered with "PORT CAPTAIN" or "SEYCHELLES PORTS AUTHORITY".

Standard Materials & Craftsmanship

• Embroidery Thread: High-grade Gold & Silver Bullion Wire (coiled metallic thread) for a raised, metallic texture, combined with silk thread for fine detail stitching.

• Base Fabric: Premium Black or Dark Navy Blue Wool Felt / Blazer Cloth.

• 3D Padding: Cotton or felt under-padding placed beneath the anchor and wreath to create a distinct, raised 3D profile.

• Standard Size: 2.5 × 3 inches (6.5 × 7.5 cm) to 3 × 3.5 inches (7.5 × 9 cm).

• Fit: Compact emblems tailored to fit on maritime peaked caps, officer dress caps, or berets.

Backing Options

• Sew-On (Standard): Thin felt margin left around the outer border for direct hand-stitching onto the cap band.

• Velcro (Hook & Loop): Hook backing applied to the rear for quick removal or transfer between uniform caps.

• Screw Posts / Metal Clutch Pins: Heavy-duty rear hardware mounted for rigid, secure placement on peaked caps.
