Features:

• Made of Gold or Silver-plated wire
• Worn on the sleeve of the mess jacket

Additional Information:

Bullion items are made of copper wire thread that is plated with either silver or gold. Unfortunately, due to the metal content, the silver-plated bullion will darken over time. The gold-plated rank will also darken, as the underlying copper "bleeds" though the gold as a dissimilar metal. We recommend storing your uniform in our Premium Garment Bag with Intercept® Lining to minimize this effect.

1. Never dry clean the uniform with the rank still attached. The harsh chemicals used in dry cleaning will discolor the rank. With proper care, a dress uniform will rarely need to be dry-cleaned. If you choose to dry-clean the mess jacket, remove the bullion rank first and re-attach after cleaning.
2. Never use a pencil eraser to polish up bullion! The bullion will look very nice for a few hours, but the sulfur in the eraser accelerates the oxidation exponentially.
