The Spanish Regulares (infantry descended from colonial regiments formerly recruited in Spanish Morocco) retain their historic waist-sashes for all ranks in colours that vary according to the unit. [6]
In Canada, hand-woven sashes (known as ceintures fléchées or sometimes "L'Assomption sashes" after a Quebec town named L'Assomption in which they were mass-produced) were derived from Iroquois carrying belts sometime during the 18th century. As a powerful multi-use tool, this sash found use in the fur trade, which brought it into the North West by means of French voyageurs. During this period, the weave got tighter and size expanded, with some examples more than four metres in length. Coloured thread was widely used. The sash is a shared cultural emblem between French-Canadians and Métis peoples. Today, it is considered to be primarily a symbol of the 1837 Lower Canada Rebellion Patriotes and the Métis Nation. In modern times, Bonhomme Carnaval, the snowman mascot of the Quebec Winter Carnival, wears a ceinture fléchée as part of his attire in recognition of the province's heritage. Until 1914 waist-sashes in distinctive national colours were worn as a peace-time mark of rank by officers of the Imperial German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian armies, amongst others. In Latin America and some countries of Africa, a special presidential sash indicates a president's authority. In France and Italy, sashes – featuring the national flag tricolours and worn on the right shoulder – are used by public authorities and local officials (such as legislators) during public ceremonial events.Cross-belts resembling sashes are worn by drum majors in the Dutch, British and some Commonwealth armies. These carry scrolls bearing the names of battle honours. THE SERPENT – “Is the emblem of evil and denotes cunning and deceit. Just as the serpent can penetrate through where no other animal may pass, so drink creeps into every aspect of living and by the cunning and deceitful advertising the brewers get in everywhere to tempt people to drink. Solomon said “Drink biteth like a Serpent and stingeth like an Adder; and whosever is deceived by it is a fool.”” Rogers, James (August 29, 2017). "George Washington's 'rediscovered' Revolutionary War sash on display". Fox News. 21st Century Fox . Retrieved September 4, 2020. PEACE AND PLENTY – “ THE REWARD OF TEMPERANCE and teaches us that men would live at peace better if selfishness and greed were no more. If drink was banished there would be plenty of happiness for all.”
THE RAINBOW – “Depicts that promise and is the sign of GOD’S COVENANT to us, as his promise never to destroy the world. So the rainbow teaches us to be faithful to our promise in the pledge, and thus prevent strong drink from destroying the world.”Victoria Solt Dennis, Discovering Friendly and Fraternal Societies. Their Badges and Regalia (Princes Risborough: Shire Publications, 2005), p.37
In the mid- and late-16th century waist and shoulder sashes came up as mark of (high) military rank or to show personal affection to a political party or nation. During the Thirty Years' War the distinctive sash colour of the House of Habsburg was red while their French opponents wore white or blue sashes and the Swedish voted for blue sashes. SWORD AND OLIVE BRANCH – “Represents JUSTICE AND PEACE. It teaches us to be honourable and just in all things, particularly with our fellow men, hence our being brothers and sisters in our fellowship, and living peaceably with all men.” Thailand: Knight Grand Cordon (Special Class) on left shoulder but Knight Grand Cross (First Class): right shoulder, for:Major) R. (Robert) Money Barnes, Military uniforms of Britain & the Empire: 1742 to the present time, London: Seeley Service & Co, 1960, p. 52. Since then sashes have been part of formal military attire (compare the sword-belt known as a baldric, and the cummerbund). Thus several other modern armies retain waist-sashes for wear by officers in ceremonial uniforms. These include the armies of Norway (crimson sashes), Sweden (yellow and blue), Greece (light blue and white), the Netherlands (orange), Portugal (crimson) and Spain (red and gold for generals, light blue for general staff and crimson for infantry officers). [5] The sash in the picture to the left (circa 1900, image courtesy of Healthy Investment, Bury, Lancs) belonged to a Chief Ruler, the highest ranking officer in a Rechabite District. It clearly shows the Rechabite emblem with its many symbols, most of which were related to Christian themes. White sashes were presented to new members at the conclusion of the Rechabite initiation ceremony. The symbolism of the colour white was explained via a reading from the book of Revelations 7.9. The main theme being that the robes of the Twelve tribes were made white by washing them in the blood of the Lamb. “From which we learn that white is an emblem of purity. The white sash, therefore, is to teach you that your life must be pure and free from immoral blemishes, and I trust that while you wear the robe of purity you will keep yourself unspotted from the world”.(6) The Rechabite sash, therefore acted as a reminder to members of their duties from a Christian perspective. The ‘immoral blemishes’ were to be avoided at all costs and very probably related to both the consumption of alcohol and a breaking of the Rechabite pledge in which all members consented to a life of total abstinence. THE EYE – “Indicates WATCHFULNESS and teaches us to be ever alert to avoid evil and temptation. Strong drink injures vision and harms thought. It also reminds us that the all-seeing eye of God, therefore we must be true to our pledge and do nothing we should be ashamed of Him seeing.”

The sash is an important symbol of the continuity of the presidency, and is only worn by the president. Its value as a symbol of the office of the head of state can be compared to that of a crown in monarchies. Presidents leaving office formally present the sash to their successor as part of the official inauguration ceremony. THE LAMB – “Stands for MEAKNESS, INNOCENCE AND MODESTY and teaches us that we must be prepared to make sacrifices if needs be to preserve these qualities in our characters, and to make sacrifices for others.” WHEATSHEAF – “Signifies GOODNESS AND PLENTY. Grain when made into bread gives health and strength, but when grain is made into beer, the goodness is destroyed and poison called alcohol created.” Our vertical sliding sash windows ensure that your home retains its character and charm.
