Stable Belts

Ceremonial Stable Belts

Regiment Pride in Every Stripe

Military Direct’s Stable Belts collection draws on a rich tradition of military heritage and ceremonial distinction. Originally adopted by UK cavalrymen, who would wrap the surcingle around their waist while tending stables, these belts evolved into a symbol of regimental identity worn across all branches of service by the 1950s. Today, they remain a proud statement of allegiance and pageantry.

Crafted in bold, woven stripes that reflect the specific colours and heritage of each regiment or corps, these stable belts are more than functional waistwear—they’re a visual testament to unit pride and distinction. Whether secured with a traditional leather strap at the side or featuring a front-facing metal buckle, each design honours long standing ceremonial customs.

Why our stable belts stand apart

• Regimental Authenticity – Patterned in accurate corps or regiment colours to signify belonging.
• Crafted for Ceremony – Built to complement No. 3 and barrack dress during formal occasions.
• Lasting Quality – Made from durable webbing with solid buckles or leather, designed to last.

Proudly worn by generations of servicemen and women, our stable belts bring a touch of history, tradition, and pride to your ceremonial uniform. Complete your dress kit with a piece that carries heritage in every thread.
