The top fabric of the baldric is done in felt and can be done
generally in the colour your choice. The reverse side of the baldric is done in
leather and with Velcro strips to hold the baldric together and so that it can
adjusted slightly for the size of the person. All the crests are done by hand embroidery
in floss and gold and silver bullion. There is no machine embroidery.

La partie supérieure de
le

est faite en feutre de la couleur de votre choix généralement. L’envers du
baudrier est en cuir avec des bandelettes de velcro pour attacher
les extrémités ensemble pour ainsi s’ajuster à toutes les grandeurs. Tous les
écussons sont brodés de soie et de fils métalliques or et argent et sont fait à
la main. Aucune broderie n’est faite à la machine. |

You have the option of choosing how many gold stripes you
wish. On the baldrics with two stripes there is a narrow satin ribbon in between.
Our baldrics generally have a blue satin ribbon in the center but you can have the
colour of your choice.

Vous pouvez choisir le nombre
de raies. Les
baudriers
à deux raies sont entrelacées d’un petit ruban de satin. Nos
baudriers sont généralement garnies d’un ruban de satin bleu au centre mais
vous pouvez mettre la couleur de votre choix. |

If you wish to place an order we will need to have clear
colour artwork, preferably as a scanned picture but if you mail a colour picture
that is okay as well. If there is a particular colour for the felt it would be
helpful to have a sample piece of fabric to obtain the correct colour. |
|
Pour commander, veuillez-nous
faire parvenir le dessin-clé, telle une photo balayée au scanneur, nous ne
prenons pas les photos couleur envoyées par la poste. S’il y a une couleur
particulière pour le feutre, il serait préférable de nous en faire parvenir un
exemplaire pour obtenir la bonne couleur. |

What is the history behind the baldric?
Drum Major John Moon notes that the
Baldric dates to the 17th century in the British Army, although it is
originally Turkish in origin. You may find examples in the Topkapi Museum
in Istanbul. The baldric was utilitarian in nature and denoted the "lead
stroke." The baldric was designed to allow the leading drummer (now known
as the drum major) to place his sticks into the loops should he need to
signal the drummers with his sword. The baldric also held his sword in a
small pocket. It subsequently became custom to embroider the name and
number of the regiment on the baldric face. Today the baldric holds the
title, designation, battle honours, and devices, in addition to miniature
drum sticks held on by loops. Per Websters Dictionary, a baldric is an ornamental
belt worn diagonally over one shoulder to support a sword or bugle. Appears
to be derived from the German Balderich, French Baudre and Middle English
Baudrik. |
