Editing Aglet (section)

==Variety==
There is a subtle distinction between aglets, which are generally functional, and [[aiguillette]]s, which are generally decorative. Aiguillettes usually appear at the end of decorative cords, such as [[bolo tie]]s and the cords on military dress uniforms. 

Shoe companies often produce their own shoelaces, for which they manufacture aglets. Many companies prefer to add metal sheaths over plastic aglets for better durability. Some may also add logos or pictures.<ref name=":0" />
