[QUOTE=Courtmount;666973]I think the Sam Browne or police belt is a grand idea - the basket weave ones are very good looking.

The problem with stable belts is that like wearing military badges you risk offending those who feel that you should not be wearing them if you did not serve in, or have very close connections with the Regiment or Corps concerned. These are part of our regimental 'tribal' wear. The ones you picture are RCT, LI or RGJ, PWRR and RGR. I'm fairly sympathetic to this view.

I understand your "concern" about the "Stable Belts" Here is my "take" (offered with the understanding that their are many who will disagree & I RESPECT that)
1. IN all situations I wear them respectively
2. Unless I am doing "Period" (1812 -1830s) "Rifles" ( light Inf/Rifles badge ) or occations when I am with my good friends from the Can,Seaforth (permission granted - Tartan, Sporrans, badges)) I make the EFFORT to DEEMPHISIZE the "miliary" conection. (never wear "badges" in this situation3. If asked or chalenged (which I have never been "face to Face") then I would answer respectively.

Here are pics of my "LEO Dudy belt.
