    Baldric? I have a cunning plan...

    ...it may be possible to convert your baldric (aka cross belt) into an extremely elegant dirk belt (aka kilt belt) suitable for formal attire. Other than that...

    When is a baldric worn? Nowadays it is worn as part of a uniform or costume, but never with civilian attire.

Now buckle the collar and you are in business.
    Either that or buy a leather scabbard on eBay or contact Sabre Sales. They have several.
