The regimental stable belt was worn with various orders of in-barracks and working dress, and in shirt-sleeve order (but not in the field on operations or exercises, except under other clothing as a trouser belt). This belt was about three and one quarter inches wide and was of royal blue webbing material, with two parallel central stripes of scarlet.

The stripes were spaced from top to bottom with one inch royal blue, five- sixteenths of an inch scarlet, five-sixteenths of an inch royal blue, five-sixteenths of an inch scarlet, and finally one inch royal blue.

The belt was fastened on the left side by two dark brown leather straps and two nickel-plated single prong buckles. Early versions of the belt were not adjustable and so needed to be of varying sizes, but from the early 1970s the stable belts featured a nickel-plated prongless adjusting buckle.
