Officer Army Ceremonial Belt

Anodized, non-tarnish, 22-carat gold-plated buckle with US Coat of Arms and branch-colored braid mounted on shrink-resistent leatherette. Belt is adjustable to 46" waist. Belt width is 1-3/4 inches.

Wear of the Ceremonial Belt: The ceremonial belt is worn with the Army Service Uniform on ceremonial occasions, with or without a saber. Local unit SOPs may govern the ceremonial belt wear at official functions, so be sure to check these as well. We discuss this issue more fully in our FAQ.

We designed our Officer Ceremonial Belt without cutting corners and to be strong enough to bear the weight of wearing a saber. First, we use a fibrous leatherette material for backing that resists shrinkage over time that plagues cheaper plastic backings and causes ripples along the length and on the face of the belt. Next, we use the same Natick-certified officer cap braid and sleeve braid that we use on our Army Service Uniform (ASU) and Service Cap, so everything will match your uniform. Our buckle is a non-tarnish 22k gold finish, but most importantly, we reinforced the back of the buckle to give you the confidence you need that it will not break when you wear your saber. We incorporated a “Soldier hack” that we learned from the 3rd Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) and replaced the weak slider plate that is typical with the design with a gold-plated wire that actively bears the weight of the saber.
