IAABO international did make an unannounced change last year regarding belts: The approved official uniform established by the Executive Committee of IAABO shall be: 1) Long black slacks (beltless and not tapered). (Page 2 of the 2014-15 IAABO Handbook)

Subsequent to IAABO International's change (above), my local board voted (unanimously) to amend our local constitution to read: Article 15: 1) The uniform shall be in accordance with that approved by IAABO, State Board, and (local) Board with the optional addition of an American flag on the back of the shirt - center and one inch below the neckline. An additional option will be that belted slacks may be worn, and if worn, the belt shall be black.

Billy:

Okay. Do you wear belted or beltless and if you wear beltess, what kind?

Does the whole crew have to be the same?

And please tell me that patent leather belts are verboten.
