sam browne (police) belt as part of uniform

[mallorij]

I am currently wearing a sam browne leather belt (like the police uses) with my uniform when out in the field/forest to carry my flashlight, knive, multi-tool etc. I think they are very practical especially when you have multiple things on your belt, since you can wear it over and attach it to your regular belt, without having to remove things all the time. Also they are much wider and stronger.

Are there other persons that use those belts? What is the preferred belt you use, or do you just use the regular scouts belt? Do you think is it acceptable to wear it optional with the scouts uniform?

The uniform may not be the appropriate attire when out in the forest such that a lot of equipment needs to be carried at the waist. A police belt would not be needed when the uniform is most appropriate.
