United Arab Emirate Embroidery Cap Badge

Key Design & Motif Elements

• UAE Hawk / Falcon Crest: Features the iconic emblem of the United Arab Emirates—a golden hawk/falcon (Quraish Falcon) with a central shield incorporating the UAE flag colors (Red, Green, White, Black).

• National Stars / Crown: Incorporates a seven-pointed star array or a specialized military crown above the falcon to symbolize the seven emirates.

• Laurel Wreath: A surrounding circular or oval frame of gold bullion palm branches or oak leaves representing rank and honor.

• Scroll & Banner: An arched scroll beneath or surrounding the emblem embroidered with "UNITED ARAB EMIRATES" or Arabic calligraphy reading "الإمارات العربية المتحدة".

Standard Materials & Craftsmanship

• Embroidery Thread: High-purity Gold & Silver Bullion Wire (coiled metallic thread) for a raised 3D metallic texture, combined with silk/polyester thread for fine detail work in the UAE flag colors.

• Base Fabric: Heavyweight Dark Navy Blue, Black, or Olive Green Wool Felt / Blazer Cloth backing.

• 3D Padding: Layers of cotton or felt inner padding underneath the falcon, wings, and wreath to produce a rich, raised profile.

Sizing & Specifications

• 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 UAE Armed Forces or Police peaked caps, berets, or side caps.

Backing Options

• Sew-On (Standard): Border left with a thin felt margin for direct hand-stitching onto the cap band.

• Velcro (Hook & Loop): Hook backing applied to the rear for quick removal or swapping on tactical/uniform caps.

• Screw Posts / Metal Clutch Pins: Rear-mounted metal hardware for rigid attachment on military peaked caps.
