A barrel sash, also called a rope-and-barrel sash, is a form of belt traditionally worn by military units known as hussars as well as by bag pipers. It comprises a series of cords which are threaded through tubular metal "barrels" and worn around the waist.[1] The tassels sometimes seen hanging from this garment are the ends of cords which come from around the back of the wearer.[2]
The barrel tubes that comprise the sash are always arranged in three columns, though the number of barrels per column on a given sash may number between three and six.[citation needed]
