British Army Coldstream Guards Red Hackle Plume

The British Army Coldstream Guards Red Hackle Plume is a distinctive military accessory used predominantly by the British Army’s Coldstream Guards. The plume, traditionally placed on the right side of a soldier’s headdress, is recognized for its vibrant red hackle – the feathered element of the adornment. This plume’s purpose is not only decorative but also symbolic, representing the rich history and heritage of the Coldstream Guards, the oldest continuously serving regiment in the British Army. Its striking red color and considerable length, ranging from 4-5 inches, make it easily identifiable during ceremonies, parades, and other formal occasions. This particular style of plume dates back to the late 18th and early 19th centuries and continues to signify the Guards’ place in the British military tradition. Authentic British Army Coldstream Guards Red Hackle Plumes are usually made from high-quality synthetic materials to ensure durability and longevity.
