Army Sash Waist Belt Red Waist Sash

An Army Sash Waist Belt or Red Waist Sash is a traditional ceremonial
accessory worn with military uniforms, most commonly by officers, warrant
officers, or senior NCOs depending on the regiment or service tradition.

Key Features:

Color: Usually deep red or crimson, though some regiments use maroon,
scarlet, or other distinct shades.

Material: Woven silk, wool, or a synthetic blend, often with a ribbed or
pleated texture.

Design:

Long sash wrapped around the waist.

Ends may be fringed or tasselled, hanging down one side (usually left or
right depending on regulation).

Width: Typically 3–5 inches wide when worn as a belt around the waist.

Fastening: Some sashes tie traditionally, while modern ceremonial waist
sashes may include hidden hooks or clips for easier wear.

Purpose:

Ceremonial Wear: Worn during parades, guard duty, inspections, and formal
occasions.

Symbolic Role: Represents tradition, authority, and regimental identity.

Practical Origin: Historically, sashes were used as makeshift slings for
wounded officers or as a visible sign of rank in battle.

Common Use:

British Army & Commonwealth: Officers and senior NCOs in infantry regiments
often wear a crimson sash.

Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi Armies: Red or maroon sashes are still part
of ceremonial full dress uniforms.

Other Militaries: Variations exist, often tied to regimental or branch
identity.

Would you like me to also list the different types of army waist sashes by
regiment (e.g., infantry crimson, cavalry gold and crimson, etc.) so you
can see the variations, or just a general overview for suppliers?
