Padded Qing Under Belt for Qing/Manchu Quiver belts
I've been fascinated by these padded under-belts for a long time, and have been using mine for years! These padded arming, or under-belts can be seen on a few antiques, especially in the Palace Collection.
I've also noticed them in one or two period paintings.
They are great for added comfort - especially if you're loading your archery belt with a lot of weight - like when you're wearing a sword.
They also make fitting your Manchu belt a lot easier, when you fall between belt sizes
And, of course, they off protection for delicate robes like silk.
