On this I am in full agreement. I do get a little twitchy about "squire's
chains" but that's about it. If someone isn't a squire but wears a red belt
and is willing to take the lumps for it, then go right ahead. Same goes for
the cord. I remember one time Sir Pendaran got some flack for wearing a white
tippit on his left arm. The white tippet simply went with the green and white
outfit he was wearing.

Logic goes a long way folks.

Yers,

Gunthar
