Tell us about pipe clay and why you don't want to use it.
Pipe-clay is a white clay that was used in the British and most Continental armies to whiten belts and assorted uniform equipment in the days of the Napoleonic wars and until the 1880's when it was replaced by Messr Joseph Pickering & Sons Ltd's"Blanco". Applying it was a lengthy and messy process, and you would get white all over your kit if caught in the rain...
He either fears his fate too much, or his deserts are small
That put it not unto the touch to win or loose it all.
-- James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose
