3.H.2. MANNER OF WEAR FOR SWORD AND SWORD ACCESSORIES<br />

The sword belt is worn under the dress coat. As a reminder, the sword belt is worn<br />

approximately six inches higher than the waistline, and sword belt sizing measurements<br />

should be taken from that position. The short belt strap and lock swivels are passed<br />

through the coat opening on the left side and the longer strap hangs free.<br />

To attach the sword and scabbard to the belt, hold the sword with the right hand and<br />

attach the back swivels to the scabbard rings. The shorter strap is attached to the upper<br />

ring and the longer strap to the lower. Twist the sword one-half turn in a clockwise<br />

direction and suspend on the sword hook with the uppermost scabbard ring so that the<br />

swords handle faces aft.<br />
