If you are looking for a cheep Stable belt have a look on E-bay for “Unisex RAF Belt”. I have purchased one and its spot on perfect. I have compared it to a more expensive one and there are a couple of hardly noticeable differences but not big enough to notice.At £4.90+£1.50p+p you cant go wrong.
Just to say I have no links with this company other than being a happy customer.
Squid.
I can second that. I bought one because it was the cheapest way to get the buckle.
They are identical to those we purchased as a squadron from Cadet Kit Shop for twice the price.
What’s the maker’s name on the rear of the cast buckle? Or does it not have one?

There isn’t one.
The quality of the casting isn’t quite as sharp as either Hobson or Firmin buckles, but it’s perfectly fine, and for the price it’s a winner.
Quick question,
What is the size difference between medium and large? (If there is one)
Ta!

You know what? That probably means it was made in…CHINA! You unpatriotic, pro-communist…
Oh, it seems that my CS95 was also made in China.
Carry on.
Like most things made in the UK, it makes you wonder how they get away with charging what they do for the proper ones, other than people pay it.
But then I imagine the ‘official makers’ sub-contract to the lowest bidder and charge the premium rate, afterall it’s only business.
Size wise I think the small/medium would fit up to 30" waist and large up to 36" waist. They are not quite as generous as some of the other brands.
i have fluctuated between a 28-32 wasit and have a small if that helps?
Thanks,
I’ve been badgered by cadets about cheap stable belts, so now I’ll be able to do a decet bulk order that won’t break the bank!
Could someone who has one possibly post a couple of high-def pictures to get an idea of the pros/cons?
going to buy one now, and check the quality of it.
will buy more if happy.
I ordered a large, it arrived this morning. The size states 86 to 90cm but it’s a snug fit for me at a 34" waist.
Is it me, or does the belt seem a bit narrower than normal?
They seem to look ok from the pics - however if someone could post pics on here and maybe compare to the more expensive versions that would be great.
I think its a brilliant price and if they meet with approval I will definately make sure my Cadets know about them.
