Carrick Thistle Cap Badge

Our Carrick moulds date back to the 1970s, carrying with them a genuine sense of vintage character and craftsmanship from a golden era of Scottish design. These distinctive moulds produce badges that are slightly larger than our main line of cap badges, giving them a bold and striking presence when worn on a cap, kilt, or lapel.

The thistle has been a national symbol of Scotland since at least the time of James III. As the Renaissance took hold of Scotland, the thistle became an important decorative motif throughout the country, coming to represent the picturesque and hardy qualities of the Scottish landscape and people.

Made with 100% lead-free pewter, then plated in a high-quality silver finish, giving these the durability of a regular cap badge with the shine of a piece of jewellery. Available in either polished silver or antique finish.

These measure 62mm long and 52mm wide. 

Made by our dedicated craftsmen in our own workshops in Glasgow, Scotland.
