To translate Jock's genteel High English to Americanese: I believe he means that to wear a badge sans belt and buckle is to claim that you own the arms to which that badge is taken from... In Scotland this is a criminal act, and would likely offend most any chief. So make sure that if you wear a badge minus the belt/buckle that it is from YOUR coat of arms.
