Apulet değil apolet olduğunu düşünüyorum.
Example sentence(s):- Today, epaulettes have mostly been replaced by a five-sided flap of cloth called a shoulder strap, which is sewn into the shoulder seam and the end buttoned like an epaulette.
- Captains with less than three years seniority wore only one epaulette on the right shoulder.
