British Army Ww2 Issue 37 Pattern Webbing Belt

[Rogerson785]

I plan on wearing this BRITISH ARMY WW2 ISSUE 37 PATTERN WEBBING BELT with my kilts whenever I wear my suede desert boots. Now I just have to make a proper sporran out of similar material and color.

I think this will look good for casual day or evening wear.

Cheers

Do you think that it really would work for evening, i.e., formal wear?

No not at all

As Nervous Jock said: day wear, yes...evening wear, no.

BTW who ever owns this belt deserves the gaol as the brass slides aren't pushed hard up against the buckles

This belt is more to wear with my desert boots, because the belt, sporran, and footwear should ALWAYS match, at least that’s what my grandfather taught me when getting dressed for any situation.

I really meant evening bar wear, nothing formal, like when one goes out to a restaurant and ends up bar hopping into the evening. Guess I could carry an extra set of black boots to go with the rest of my black kit? So I guess at say 1800 hours anyone wearing light brown or tan should switch to their evening attire?

Not trying to be a smart , this is all new to me and I just want to get it right. Being in the Army for 20+ years I am kind of used to wearing limited civilian clothing and I was fortunate enough to have a incredible grandfather to raise me correctly when it came to clothes and sensible fashion, now I am relying on everyone here to guide me.

Thanks.

I have one of those with the buckles at the back removed.

I wear it with my three colour forest DPM kilt - and from time to time I take it apart and carefully polish the brasswork, then wash it, dry it and put it back together.

I think that the two ends should be folded to about the same depth, and the sliders should be pushed hard against the buckle, but there is no rule about which side the clip should go.

I have had mine about 40 years now, they are very hard wearing.

It was originally black -boot polish I think - then when scrubbed it went white (combination of paint and Blanco perhaps) and over the years has gradually darkened towards what I assume is the original colour.

You are in Omaha NE, are you not? And you're worried about switching from brown day leather to black evening leather while on a casual night on the town? While there are some here that might applaud your concern for "correctness," I submit to you Sir, that truly there is no Kilt Police, and if there were, they don't go patrolling bars in Nebraska after sundown.

Sure, when you're are going for formal look (e.g. Prince Charlie jacket etc.) you want the proper accessories, but I think it would be overdoing it to carry both brown and black accessories, out of concern over some "witching hour." (Unless of course you are accompanied by your personal manservant, whose job it is to attend to such things. ) Really, unless your going to be attending a dressy Scottish event, just wear what looks good, and don't sweat it.

Best regards,

Jake
