    Now how daft do I feel? I didn't know the belt was to be worn OUTSIDE your PC.
    D'oh!

    The belt is not worn outside your PC, in fact it is not worn with your PC. The jackets these men are wearing are Doublets. the belt is worn outside many different style doublets.

    Back to the brooch placement it looks to me that these examples use the epaulet and in so doing save putting an un-necessary hole in a fine jacket.

    Actually, one can thread the plaid under the epaulet, then pin the brooch onto the plaid, thus keeping it from sliding backwards w/o actually pinning the brooch to the jacket. the brooch will then ride right at the epaulet.

    Good point, however I was merely commenting on the photos here none of them show any epaulet. I suppose it can be done the way you describe, however clearly in these photos it was not done that way at all.
