The Rifles Stable Belt

Product Information

Until recently the Royal Navy rarely wore stable belts, unless working in a tri-service environment. However they are now issued as a standard piece of uniform with the new Royal Navy Uniform RNPCS replacing the old No. 4s. The Scottish Yeomanry (1992-1999) adopted the stable belt of the 15th/19th Kings Royal Hussars following the latters amalgamation. This was decided due to its similarity to the Ayrshire Yeomanry's previous belt.

Originally, stable belts were worn by cavalrymen in the working dress they used for cleaning the stables and tending to their horses, but in the 1950s they spread to all branches of the armed forces, adding a splash of colour and individuality to the drab khaki working uniforms. Initially they were resisted by many senior officers, who saw them as too individualistic, but they soon became accepted throughout the forces. The Rifles regiment was formed in 2007 with the merger of 4 other Regiments of the British army.The Rifles came into being as a result of new Army Structures.

But on 24 November 2005, the Defense ministry said that the 4 regiments would become one.5 battalion regiments.
