WORKING DRESS - ROYAL ENGINEERS
No14 Dress (Shirt-sleeve version of No13 Dress) Officer, Royal Engineers
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 unit identity 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.

A stable belt is a wide webbing belt, usually a single solid colour or horizontally striped in two or more different colours.
It is worn around the waist in No13 Dress and worn through the trouser belt loops in No14 Dress (shirt-sleeve order).
The original cavalry stable belts buckled at the side to avoid chafing the soldier's stomach as he bent down during
stable work, but many stable belts are now clipped at the front, sometimes behind a metal belt plate (usually bearing
the badge of the regiment), although a few regiments such as the Light Infantry clip their stable belts at the front with
the original two leather straps. A large number of units, however, continue to use the traditional method of securing
the belt using two leather straps and metal buckles at the left-hand side.
Today, every regiment and corps of the British Army has its own stable belt, often very colourful. Stable belts are worn by
soldiers who have completed "Phase 2" training, and are purchased by individual service personnel, not issued,
so are theoretically neither regulation nor compulsory but since most people own one they are effectively uniform
items in the Army
