Richard Farrant Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Yes, but they are not riding breeches. Maybe I used the wrong word? Jodphurs, perhaps, looks like a belt and buckle in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Maybe I used the wrong word? Jodphurs, perhaps, looks like a belt and buckle in the picture. Not trousers of any sort. It is a belt & buckle. The illustration shows how it should be stored in the barracks. At kit inspection the soldier should hold this equipment over his right arm.
