Officer's Undress Pouchbelt



The undress pouchbelt is not strictly undress because it is worn with the full dress when gold kit is not required. It is also worn with the stable jacket (see: Fred Burnaby by Tissot) and with the frock coat. The Blues officers' version of this is distinct from the Life Guards and other ranks in having a white leather slide instead of a gilt or brass one. The buckle differs in that it is a simple straight rectangle instead of a wavy edge type. The tip is similar to the other ranks belt.
