Couple of things to keep in mind:
1. The photo is obviously of an armiger who has a bespoke badge made from bullion wire. While I don't mind the way it looks, from a traditionalist POV, a bullion badge is traditionally worn on on the pocket of a blazer/club jacket. You do see some individuals wearing them on day jackets with Highland kit from time-to-time, but
to me, the bullion badge really belongs on a blazer/club jacket. That being said, I rather like this look.
2. There are examples of bullion cap badges for officers, such as the embroidered UN seal badges worn by Commonwealth peacekeeper officers, or a Brigadier's badge worn in bullion.
3. The majority of clansman badges available on the market in bullion are just too big for a bonnet badge. I have seen some smaller variants that might work, but again, I'm not so sure I'm keen on idea. Your mileage may vary.
Those are just my thoughts, no offence meant to anyone.
