Belt DIrection?

[O'Neille]

I've wondered about this myself. I'd read many years ago that the Waiste Plate (buckle) was right hand and the loop on the left. I always figured it was because duty belts or Sam Browne belts have the permanantly attached buckle on the right and the hooks on the left. None of these belts are meant to go through belt loops so to keep the tab on the left hip you put the buckle on the right. Of course a conventional buckle belt would go anticlockwise as usual.
