Where to find long officer's sash?

[Maillemaker]

I am making a mainstream federal captain impression for manning recruiting tables.

I purchased a red officer's sash from C&C Sutlery. It is 109" from knot-to-knot. Being a guy with a 52" gut, when I wrap it around myself twice there is no "dangle" for the knots. Not long enough.

Anyone know where I can find a long officer sash for a fat guy?

Thanks,
Steve

You might have to buy a second sash and splice the two together.

S & S has sashes. I am sure if you contact Ed and the crew they can measure one for you:

Thanks. I ended up buying 2 from C&C Sutlery and sewed them together.

That might go around Steve's waist, at least once.

Just kidding Steve. According to MY weight, I should be 7'10"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, when I'm not wearing it it makes a great hammock!

Here's the one I pieced together from 2 of them:
