swordbelt

Waist weapon strap

A swordbelt is a belt designed to hold a sword, worn around the waist or across the shoulder and chest.

Swordbelts typically feature a loop, frog, or scabbard attachment that secures the weapon at the wearer's side for quick access.

Though largely obsolete as practical military gear, swordbelts remain part of ceremonial uniforms and historical reenactment costumes.
