Enlisted Army Ceremonial Belt

Anodized, non-tarnish, 22-carat gold-plated buckle with US Coat of Arms. Belt is made of enlisted ASU cloth on a leatherette backing that resists shrinkage. Cloth belt keepers are finished pieces made of enlisted ASU cloth and quarter-inch braid. Belt is adjustable to 50", one-size-fits-all. Belt width is 1-3/4 inches.

We designed our Enlisted Ceremonial Belt without cutting corners and to be strong enough to bear the weight of wearing a sword. 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 fabric that we use on our ASU pants and then same “Goldenlite #67107” braid color that we use for our Female Mess Uniform Service Stripes, so everything will match your uniform. Finally, we use a finished belt keeper instead of simply adding a strand of ¼” braid as a poor excuse for a belt keeper as many belt makers opt to use. 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 sword.

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 sword.
