Canadian Forces RCN Navy Officers Mylar Cap Badge for Peak Cap Hat

The Canadian Forces RCN Navy Officers Mylar Cap Badge is an official emblem designed for wear on the peak cap of Royal Canadian Navy officers. Made with mylar, a durable synthetic material, this badge features the traditional elements of the RCN insignia, including a central anchor motif surrounded by a laurel wreath and surmounted by a royal crown. The use of gold- and silver-tone mylar provides a distinctive appearance while reducing maintenance requirements compared to earlier embroidered or metal versions. This style of badge came into use in the late 20th century as part of standardized Canadian Forces uniforms. The badge is affixed to the front of the service cap, signifying the wearer’s rank as a naval officer. It measures approximately 6–7 cm in height and 7–8 cm in width and is backed with a stiffened support for durability. It remains a widely recognized identifier within the Canadian military.
