The end of the larger belt is a rounded triangle shape. A second ½ inch belt is made of a rounded cord type material in the center of the larger belt. There are four small rectangular loops on the larger belt that hold, the smaller belt in place. There are two loops in the front and two in the back, matching reference photos for placement by the size of the wearer
  • The smaller belt closure is a slide holding the two ends of the smaller belt together and letting the ends hang in the front, ending 2-3 inches above the hem of the tunic.

The shin plate flares out at the ankle. There is an angled section on the front of the shin that angles from the back of the leg to the front, wrapping around at an angle to the center of the front of the shin, then reaches straight down to the bottom of the shin plate on each side of the leg.
