Description
Our CFS Holberg Bullion Embroidered Crest Badge is a finely crafted military insignia inspired by the Canadian Forces Station Holberg, a key installation in the historic Pinetree Line radar network on Vancouver Island. Featuring premium hand embroidered bullion wire detailing, this badge reflects vigilance, early warning defence, and Cold War-era military heritage.
Expertly handcrafted using high-quality bullion embroidery techniques, the crest showcases a stylized “Holberg bird” emblem along with the French motto “Être en Vigie” (“To Be on Watch”). The raised metallic stitching enhances depth, texture, and ceremonial presentation quality, making it a striking piece of military history.
Constructed on durable fabric backing, this embroidered badge ensures long-lasting quality and strong stitch definition. Its refined design makes it suitable for blazers, collector displays, aviation museums, and military heritage collections.

How to Measure Your Kilt
Precise measurements ensure a perfect, comfortable fit for your traditional Scottish kilt. Our guide walks you through each measurement point with care and accuracy.
H to P = Kilt length from hip to floor
H = Around waist measurement
M = Around hip measurement
Place a cloth measuring tape just above your eyebrows and loosely measure round the circumference of your head. To ensure absolute accuracy, repeat this procedure two or three times carefully.
If your measurement falls between sizes, always select the next largest size for optimal comfort.

Take your body measurements in inches without any loosening or compression. Follow these 8 precise measurement points to ensure a perfect fit for your formal Scottish jacket.

2. Round Chest — Across full chest
3. Front Length — From shoulder to desired hem
4. Belly Round — Around midsection
5. Cuff Round — Around wrist
6. Sleeve Length — From shoulder seam to wrist

Vest Measurement Points
Your Scottish vest should fit comfortably without restriction. These three primary measurements ensure perfect proportions for an elegant appearance.
A to B = Shoulder width (left to right)
C to D = Chest circumference
E to F = Total length from top to bottom
Place a cloth measuring tape just above your eyebrows and loosely measure round the circumference of your head. To ensure absolute accuracy, carefully repeat this procedure two or three times.
If your measurement falls between sizes, always select the next largest size for a comfortable fit.
How to Measure for Hats
Step 1: Using a flexible fabric measuring tape, hold the tape at your front hairline with gentle tension.
Step 2: Follow your natural hairline circumference to the base at the nape of your neck. Continue around your head, then back up to your starting point at the front.
To ensure absolute accuracy, carefully repeat this procedure two or three times. If your measurement falls between sizes, always select the next largest size for comfort.
