How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: wear the belt at the waist with the short pendant on the left seam, attach the sabre to the short pendant’s gold hook, and let the long pendant sit to the rear at a 90° angle to complete the fixings. Prepare the uniform trousers so the side seam is properly aligned before fitting the belt.

In most cases, this belt is used for ceremonies, parades and official duties where both appearance and secure sabre carrying are required. Its ergonomic pendant layout helps keep the sabre stable during movement while preserving the uniform look.

• Wipe the leather with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
• Keep metal fittings dry and wipe them after use to help maintain the gold-tone finish.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals on leather and metal parts.
