The sash in the picture to the left (circa 1900, image courtesy of Healthy Investment, Bury, Lancs) belonged to a Chief Ruler, the highest ranking officer in a Rechabite District. It clearly shows the Rechabite emblem with its many symbols, most of which were related to Christian themes. White sashes were presented to new members at the conclusion of the Rechabite initiation ceremony. The symbolism of the colour white was explained via a reading from the book of Revelations 7.9. The main theme being that the robes of the Twelve tribes were made white by washing them in the blood of the Lamb. “From which we learn that white is an emblem of purity. The white sash, therefore, is to teach you that your life must be pure and free from immoral blemishes, and I trust that while you wear the robe of purity you will keep yourself unspotted from the world”.(6) The Rechabite sash, therefore acted as a reminder to members of their duties from a Christian perspective. The ‘immoral blemishes’ were to be avoided at all costs and very probably related to both the consumption of alcohol and a breaking of the Rechabite pledge in which all members consented to a life of total abstinence. Until 1914 waist-sashes in distinctive national colours were worn as a peace-time mark of rank by officers of the Imperial German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian armies, amongst others.

During the Thirty Years' War the distinctive sash colour of the House of Habsburg was red while their French opponents wore white or blue sashes and the Swedish voted for blue sashes. In Canada, hand-woven sashes (known as ceintures fléchées or sometimes "L'Assomption sashes" after a Quebec town named L'Assomption in which they were mass-produced) were derived from Iroquois carrying belts sometime during the 18th century. As a powerful multi-use tool, this sash found use in the fur trade, which brought it into the North West by means of French voyageurs. During this period, the weave got tighter and size expanded, with some examples more than four metres in length. Coloured thread was widely used. The sash is a shared cultural emblem between French-Canadians and Métis peoples. Today, it is considered to be primarily a symbol of the 1837 Lower Canada Rebellion Patriotes and the Métis Nation. In modern times, Bonhomme Carnaval, the snowman mascot of the Quebec Winter Carnival, wears a ceinture fléchée as part of his attire in recognition of the province's heritage.
