Damaged A/A badges have very little value and we only deal in pristine A/A insignia unless it is extremely rare. The Royal Regiment of Scotland wears the feathered bonnet, as do pipers in the Scots Guards and Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.

Some regiments' officers and WOs may wear coloured pullovers in place of the green pattern; the following regimental patterns and colours are authorised: [31] a b c d e f g h i j "Army Dress Regulations 2017" (PDF).

The Household Division resumed wearing their scarlet and blue full dress in 1920, but for the remainder of the Army it was only worn by regimental bands, or else on certain limited social or ceremonial occasions (an example of the latter was the 1937 Coronation when mounted detachments from participating cavalry regiments were issued with full dress uniforms for the occasion). [37] The reason for not generally reintroducing the distinctive full dress between the wars was primarily financial, as the scarlet cloth required expensive red cochineal dye. [38] Many badges feature crowns and these can be a useful guide to identifying and dating badges and buttons. In the United States Air Force, all personnel have the option to wear service caps, but only field-grade ( major through colonel) and general officers are required to own one. The service cap is issued without charge to enlisted airmen assigned to certain ceremonial units and details. [ citation needed]
