Brass and guilt buckles were introduced in the 1850s, belts and sashes were early sort-after fashion accessories and soon became an important part of cricket attire. These buckles would have been fitted to a canvas belt often printed with a cricket design. By 1868 belts were out of fashion and were replaced by elastic bands. However belts and sashes in appropriate Club colours continued to be worn for scorecard identification.
