    Potential Kilt Belt

    I saw these the other day flipping through a catalog. I thought these might make a cool kilt belt, especial a casual or camo one.

    They look like the old school pistol belt, but these are smaller.

    From the review sounds more like 'pants' pistol belt :-)


    Far better with a 37, 44 or 58 pattern web belt with brass buckles you can shine up

    I agree Jock. Pants indeed.

    There's a link here for 37 Pattern web belts with a new or used option.

    http://www.surplusandoutdoors.com/is...opscr2773.html (UK based company)

    They also turn up on ebay all the time, just drop "37 pattern Belt" into ebay search. There are one or two on ebay US now in fact.

    The 2 1/4" old style military web belt would work a little better. It's stiffer while being flexible and wider for kilt loops. I have one green and one black that I've had for years and am going to wear them with a black or brown casual kilt when I get one.

    I use the military web pistol belt because I prefer the metal buckle to the plastic. I sell these to guys for their kilts in OD green or black for 9.99 shipped to the lower 48. They have a vintage look just like the Ike jackets and other military accessories.

    I have one like that, I wear it with my UKs occasionally, but its rather on the skinny side. (Also as one of the reviews on that website mentioned, its snags on belt loops.)

    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.

    A number of people questioned my right to wear a black cowboy hat with gold cav officers hatband. I think they were mostly satisfied that as I have served as a Brit Cav officer I was just about OK but even then I was probably stretching a point.
    The 'Eathen in his idleness bows down to wood and stone,
    'E don't obey no orders unless they is his own,
    He keeps his side arms awful,
    And he leaves them all about,
    Until up comes the Regiment and kicks the 'Eathen out.

    I was thinking the same thing. I can't say I've ever seen anyone wearing a stable belt with a kilt to begin with.
